Pros

Opportunity to work with very smart people

Cons

The rumors are true, they really do kick you out when you turn 50! The yearly reviews are cutthroat and have destroyed some very good hard working people The hours required to truly succeed are not worth the paycheck

Highly Toxic Management in Australia

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, felxibility to work from home

Cons

The Australian sub has gone through a terrible change over 2019 and needs a good shake up, the culture is like IBM in the 90s or like a chapter written by Jack Welch. Back stabbing, lack of transparency, a lot of insecure people who throw others under a bus to save themselves and I am talking about the leadership teams. There is also an unrealistic expectation of travel, the company does not care about your personal life or your family despite saying they do, they act as though they own you. It feels very much like a cult and it is a very toxic environment in Australia at least. Lastly I want to highlight I saw a lot of poor treatment of people by management while HR turned a blind eye. Hiring of people in roles that were already filled by other people. Being told one day you are performing well, then the next day being pulled into HR meetings to say you were not meeting expectations. Roles are being downgraded by 2 levels forcing people to leave so management can hire their friends. Or worst yet people made redundant one week and two weeks later asked to come back. No one knows where they stand all while the numbers are crashing. Steer clear of this company until they clean up management.
