Pros
Company is transitioning from a successful start-up to a scale-out internationally and to broader market segments. There are very smart people guiding the transition justifying Seek's investment in the company.
Culture is recognised as a significant source for the company's success since its inception and is actively promoted as a driver for further growth. The company is particular that prospective employees will fit into and add to the culture. The cultural values have been distilled into:
- Empathy - we respect and protect each other
- Customer - their success is our success
- Innovation
- Results
The principal product is historically a monolith which is in the process of being converted, in place, to a cloud-based - micro-services SaaS offering.
There is significant emphasis on addressing tech debt, automated testing, dev-ops, quality and skills development.
Cons
There is a lot of change as the company grows and reorganises itself to successfully manage that growth.
The historical monolith solution can be cumbersome to work with and require the use of legacy technologies but is being updated in place incrementally towards a micro-serviced based architecture.
