Pros

Office location and fellow colleagues. If you enjoy working on defence and healthcare projects this is for you, large scale projects you can sink your teeth in. Flexible working model makes it easy to work from home and have flexible hours in the office.

Cons

Little work/life balance, long hours. Not much diversity in terms of project types. This isn’t necessarily a con if you want to specialise but it can be monotonous and repetitive work. I felt under valued, unappreciated and was mistreated. Melbourne office seems to take a back step to Sydney office where leadership is based.

Pros

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.
