Pros
The company can provide early-career exposure for those looking to gain experience before moving on to a better-structured organisation. The office location in Victoria may be convenient for some.
Cons
Management structure is highly ineffective. New clients are often signed without the resources or planning needed to deliver the work properly. The culture is unhealthy and does not match the “family” image the company promotes. Many employees feel unsupported, and respect for staff is inconsistent. Share options are essentially meaningless unless the company is sold, and employees lose them when they leave. Increasing reliance on outsourced teams without proper alignment leads to confusion and inefficiency. Employee wellbeing appears to be low priority. Although mental-health support is mentioned, meaningful help is lacking in practice. Leadership transparency is limited. The CEO and CFO being married can create a dynamic where decisions feel insular and overly centralised. Some senior staff seem unclear about their responsibilities, which contributes to disorganisation. The office environment can feel tense at times, with disagreements happening in front of staff. Pay is significantly below market, and salary increases are difficult to obtain. When I requested one, I was told there was no budget, which contributed to my decision to leave. There have been reported concerns around workplace conduct (i.e sexual harassment), publicly referenced in the media (do your research). This raised serious concerns for me and I'm sure it would for many other people) If I were a client, I would be worried about the lack of structure and internal alignment.
