Pros

People are great. Pay is great, depending on your role. Accrued leave credits. Gift leaves in December. Promotions are given, mostly titles often monetary.

Cons

Don't expect an annual raise, disregard what they say in the contract. Performance bonus is given after FY, Once. Management is great, could be better, but its great. Transitioning to more days in the office without asking employees.

Pros

Work from home, great colleagues

Cons

No pay increases for 4 years, minimal bonus. Staff are not respected, constant redundancy rounds. Poor communication to its employees, lack of career development. Some Senior Management good at managing up but have no desire to manage downwards leaving teams exasperated and in fear for their jobs
