Pros

Some nice people at the lower levels of the company just trying to survive in bad industry times.

Cons

There is no good reason to stay in a company led by someone who treats people as badly as the managing director does. His exaggerated self importance and need to constantly put others down makes him one of the most tyrannical people I've ever had the misfortune to work with. His clients should know there is a truly ugly nature hidden behind the fake charm. The fake company structure is a front. He makes every single decision across every aspect of the company. I feel sorry for the poor people who have no choice but to stay working for this bedlamite . It's pretty obvious he is writing the fake five word reviews with five stars.

Worst ever Corporate culture

Pros

Free coffee at the inhouse cafe

Cons

Terrible corporate culture highlighted by nepotism and favoured employees of the dictorial Managing Director. It may appear to be an ASX listed company with governance, but in reality is a loss making family company that has poor morale and high staff turnover. Best to avoid......

Pros

Friendly colleagues with minimal office politics, willing to share knowledge.

Cons

Higher management that have absolutely no idea what they're doing and no concrete plans when company is losing money. No proper business strategies and execution plan even for restructuring. Bad finance management with no transparency on cost/profits. Please refer to the recent financial report on ASX (Annual Report FY21). No increment. No bonus, profit sharing is a joke. No career progression. What you'll hear is company is not making profit every single year despite market were doing well relatively. Competitors (CGG, Schlumberger) won lots of projects with good financial projection whereas the company lost a lot, definitely not an excuse to blame the market with no projects available for bidding. The company rather 'invest' something that is on hype now but with no certain profits within a said timeframe and no strong financial backup. No allowance given if working overtime. Often pushing you beyond your limits (in a bad way) without compensation and appreciation, i.e. extra workload without giving extra time/resources or even replacement leave. Something must be wrong when there's high turnover of employees.
