Pros

Interesting projects and teams to work on, definitely helped me technically as a software engineer. Good pay.

Cons

People were incredibly arrogant. Not many people willing to help, only interested in their own agendas. No upward mobility for career growth. Being a manager doesn’t provide any benefits besides more stress. Poor 401k match.

Pros

- amazing benefits that are very competitive, including unlimited PTO, healthcare for you and partner, fitness and gym reimbursement, equity, egg freezing, and more - beautiful new office in prime location - very smooth hiring process (back in 2021) - travel opportunities (role dependent) - getting to work alongside some extremely talented and personable individuals (almost always mid-management and below), some who really care about their teams and have amazing leadership skills - great product - well-respected CEO

Cons

- salaries are not competitive at all (benchmarked against 27 companies personally all offering 50-70k AUD more for the same role) - 3 day in office requirement (depends on personal preference as to whether this is a pro or con) - terrible, poor leadership in Marketing including managers that don’t turn up for 1-1s and no communication or give conflicting information - no strategy whatsoever to our activities! - no KPIs or goals in marketing whatsoever. Only trying to introduce now - no consistent leadership (had 8 managers, 6 different people) in just over two years - no growth opportunities or clear career paths in the marketing department - some disrespectful local sales teams members which made working together very unpleasant, even after raising it for more than 6 months.
