Pros

Great company with typically very knowledgeable and supportive colleagues and managers throughout. Lots of additional benefits available through the company (health insurance deals, gym memberships, etc), and great salary comparatively to other FSE roles in ANZ. Company car and fuel card provided.

Cons

Frequent and sometimes interstate travel (usually driving, sometimes flying), and sometimes at very late notice (same/next day). Somewhat understaffed considering the increasing install base/workload throughout ANZ.
