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.

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
