Pros

Free but very basic breakfast, staff lunches, good PC equipment

Cons

The place is full of lies. Development side of the business is increasingly dysfunctional and recent changes in management structure has precipitated further dysfunction. If you are a developer looking to advance your skills or interested in career progression then this is not the place for you. Our leadership seams to be disjointed and inexperienced. LEAP encourages heavy drinking outside of work by funding Friday with the hope of improving the culture by getting everyone drunk. If you are not heavy drinker there is not many options for you to progress your career. The development in LEAP is ad-hock and chaotic without clear direction. Forget about cooperation or listening to one another, once you are placed on the floor your opinion or voice will not be heard. All LEAP wants you to do is to sit in the corner and write code without asking questions. Stabbing each other backs, general lack of communication or understanding is normal here. The lack of direction from the board of LEAP is clearly evident across the company with people being left to do whatever they want. The management seams to be unaware of the low morale in the office. The development policy is quick and dirty which usually results in long and dirty due to ad-hock requirements and internal miscommunication. They attempt to cover up bad management by employing more staff without addressing the issue at head. The office is run down and dirty with a poorly equipped kitchen and play room…..what a joke! The salary is average and the bonuses are based on a ‘top 5’ system which makes some people incredibly overloaded yet others are spending days on social or news sites. Don’t be surprised if your top 5 frequently changes throughout the quarter.

Pros

- Flexible working arrangements, remote but there is an office if you wish to go in. - Lots of opportunities to work on interesting projects and have visibility. - Kind and genuine exec team. The structure feels flat and everyone is very approachable. - Everyone is responsive, helpful and solutions focused. - Great HR function - we had a company retreat last year, there is a mentorship program.

Cons

- The US team only has so much control over the product and strategy, since the HQ is in Sydney -Work is relatively fast-paced, but its reasonable compared to most other workplaces.

Pros

LEAP has what use to be a strong product and a huge market presence, especially in the legal-tech space. The work itself can be interesting, and many colleagues across regions are talented, driven, and genuinely want to help clients. The challenges are mostly global culture.

Cons

There is little consistency across teams, and a lot depends on which manager you end up with. Burnout is extremely common. HR is not willing to address issues, so problems repeat. It’s not an environment where people feel supported, and internal behaviour doesn't reflect the values advertised publicly.
