Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Pros: - Coffee, motorised standup desks, and good office chairs.
- Some good people there who are stuck due to their personal situations.
An invaluable lesson learnt!
Cons: I wish that I took these negative reviews more seriously...😒
Being born and raised in Australia, I missed out on some of the horror stories from colleagues who have previously worked in 3rd world companies, and this is your perfect opportunity to experience first hand...
- Totally lacks Australian values and culture.
- As part of on boarding you are asked to like all of company's social profile pages, follow them and write positive feedback, Seriously???
- Going through crazy growth, and majority of employees are new so no one has a clue. Everything is a priority. Deadlines can squeeze and you can be asked to deliver overnight!
- It's an in-out factory, loads of talented people joining and leaving every week.
- Company's image presented during the interview process and publicly is far from reality.
- Lack of clarity on your role and responsibilities.
- Most people appear rude and lack soft-skills.
- Not family friendly, especially not people with kids. No flexibility and Extremely long hours(frequent midnights). Team meetings at 6pm??? 9am - 6pm is necessary and overtime generally is expected.
- Increasing middle management adding to a lot of micro-management.
- Speaking up is discouraged and looked down on.
- Public shaming of employees is rather frequent and seemed common throughout the organisation.
- Lack of process and inclination towards improvements and ever-increasing tech-debt.
- Leads are hard to approach, narrow minded, set in their ways, egoistic and have absolutely no idea what leadership means. At best they are bad bosses.
- "No autonomy", don't go with some older reviews as it is clearly not the case anymore.
