Business Outlook

Pros

Good superannuation scheme, nice uniforms , good vehicles, good ergonomics,

Cons

no respect given to employees for there contribution to the company, working up to 18 hours per day meant nothing as termination of job was given the day leave was scheduled. Truth is never told, cover up for those who have relatives in high management. The morals and standards that where developed by ICI have been lost.

Great Longterm staff - New Management team will bring significant negative change on culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great staff Collaborative, team mentality Promotions used to be internal Great work life balance

Cons

Many Staff in IT were very long term (10-30 years!!) so there is some resistance to change Good rhetoric about accountability from incoming senior management, however staff aren't empowered to think and act - just do what they are told Many key decisions that were once transparent and questionable are now made behind closed doors and secreted away from staff. There is a ceiling for promotion as new CIO has brought in people he worked with in the past to fill senior management roles rather than promote from within.

Pros

Global each and work enviornment, high work standards given the nature of products, a good training ground, allows you to travel easily, explore etc.

Cons

Highly racial, have to be an aussie might to be able to stay in the company, performance review based on perception, HR is a joke in the company, senor managers belonged to the Aussie club and you have to be in their good books to be able to survive....
