Pros

Loved working for the monks, great company culture, young and old digital wizards work there, stay creative you all.

Cons

Lately turning into a content factory due to management decisions. Lost it's identity a bit. Still there is great talent walking around there. Hope that management will recognise this and that the old culture will be able to return one day.

Pros

Truly great group of people to work with, regardless of businesses. People know what they’re doing and helpful. Good insurance and good offices in Sydney and Melbourne. Free lunches every Wednesday.

Cons

Inflexible WFH policies. Need to be in office by 9:30am for working days, this is reviewed and monitored closely by management (as if there’s nothing better to do). No flexibility for in-office days (sometimes 4 days because of all-hands) Managers are really tired of having no say in salary reviews for teams and having to monitor office attendance. Lack of career growth as there is no planning / lack of promises. Minimal pay raises and no bonuses at all.
