Pros

- Salary package includes alcohol - Bar at the office - Nice location

Cons

Since the stock price has been going down for past few years, there are lot of redundancies, forces leaves, bullying & threatening environment to work in, forced extended hours, extra monitoring of work. Unions got crushed in Sydney and biometric scanning is in place at Huntingwood to monitor employee time including how much time they were in the toilet.
