Pros

Many outstanding technical leaders and client service professionals.

Cons

With leadership changes, company is disinvesting in everything that isn't tied to immediate billable hours. Not clear how the business will grow and innovate. People fearful about jobs due to many layoffs, and good people have left and are fleeing. The Digital business was poorly run by the recently departed Digital leader and was a mirage, and has been dissolved. Most vestiges of digital are gone, as well as many of its people, which makes it harder for GHD to compete against bigger firms.

Pros

Freedom to create own schedule, work remotely, access to thousands of professionals and subject matter experts across the globe. Paid leave for jury duty. Great people.

Cons

Large Australian based, international corporation with Australian values, Adoption of DEIA and ESG goals and policies that may or may not align with individual beliefs or values. As with any large international corporation, there is a lot of paperwork and legal corporate processes that slow down productivity but are necessary for corporate consistency, Common sense lacking at times in these processes. Excessive pressure to produce. This environment requires self advocacy to ask for support, find the right people, be noticed or heard, and strict self discipline to allow for any chance of work life balance. Salary vs Hourly positions can leave employees feeling taken advantage of while not being acknowledged- this goes for any large international corporation. Large portion of employees work remotely entirely- getting to know coworkers and feel loyalty to the brand takes work. High bill out rates compared to pay. Employee ownership program only open to select employees invited by upper management. Few mid level senior professionals with time to mentor new grads and staff engineers. Mandatory holiday shutdown and employee PTO use.
