Pros

- Flexible workplace - Health fund packaged

Cons

- Constant restructuring serving no purpose. People are let go and a few months later roles are hired for same positions with less capable employees. - Senior leadership promoted before they are ready. For example, lacking people skills, and business acumen. - Weak HR team. Feedback in reviews not followed up. Poor performers and managers with poor people skills are never confronted nor is feedback actioned.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
