Pros

Good location. I need to add 5 words so adding in this other sentence otherwise... that's it really, location.

Cons

Distinct difference in treatment of people with different cultural backgrounds. Poor 'HR' team. Poor product management and leadership. Leadership team also has extremely poor communication with development, treating developers like second rate workers, (yet they try to sell themselves as a tech company.) The lack of vision stands out the most.

JobAdder is extremely proud of our culture which includes our inclusiveness - we are naturally extremely diverse and value all of our staff, especially our Engineering team! (Low single digit voluntary turnover speaks for itself.) The recent staff changes as a result of COVID-19 were extremely difficult but necessary - I hope you find a new role you enjoy.

Pros

Small enough team that people mostly got along. Base salary was not bad.

Cons

Very limited voice. Constant fear of being fired due to how management would interact with you. They did not fully understand who did what in the team. Did not show equal appreciation to all parties involved in releasing a quality product. Alcohol consumption was very encouraged. You would be shamed if you did not drink. Strict 8:30 - 5:30 work day. I am fine with the length of the work day but flexibility of start and end time would have been nice. Benefits were lacking in quality and quantity. That would be fine if the company gave a plus elsewhere such as schedule but it did not.

Thanks for your review. You are right in that cultures can vary from office to office, so we have worked hard to ensure everyone at JA understands our core company culture. This includes all employees coming to Sydney at least once a year to get to know the whole team. In the year since you were there a lot has changed and we are extremely happy with the team we have in the US now. Thanks again for your input and all the best.
