Pros

The workplace offers flexibility with its work-from-home arrangements, a significant benefit. However, this flexibility comes at the cost of intense micromanagement. While working remotely, employees must complete detailed timesheets, attend frequent manager check-ins, and fill out numerous long production forms with hundreds of checkpoints and zero room to move. The level of monitoring and documentation required often detracts from productive work time and creates an atmosphere of distrust through autocratic, centralised authority.

Cons

The workplace culture is heavily bureaucratic, with a rigid, top-down management approach and little understanding of mainstream management approaches. Communication about academic partners is often negative, which creates unnecessary 'us and them' tension and impacts project delivery and workplace culture. Despite offering generous educational benefits, including subsidised university opportunities, there appears to be limited engagement with or understanding of the education sector at the management level. This results in an overly process-driven culture that prioritises control over staff achievements. The company's learning design approach lags behind other Australian OPM providers, demonstrating stronger academic partnerships, more education-focused leadership, and more professional and rewarding workplaces.

Pros

Remote, good benefits and PTO, metrics are clear

Cons

Call centered environment, very metrics driven without true accountability - leaves you often doing the work of others who aren’t performing, upper leadership has favorites
