Pros

Nice office. Good SDR team members that work hard. Health care is great and compensation is above average

Cons

Overall feeling of being just a number with micromanaging leaders that only care about their reputation. In office attendance dashboards to ensure you’re meeting hybrid expectations. Leaders are very clicky and have preferences. The way leaders manage make you feel like a number. Lots of people leaving the business due to bad leadership. Very little promotion opportunities, 2/15 reps will be promoted in 2 years. It’s a sinking ship in Sydney.

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
