Hi, thanks for writing. We appreciate the positive recommendation, but also were sorry to see that you think SCJ is changing too much. We do have to be like our competitors in some ways, in order to compete. But we also want to keep and protect the unique things that have always made SCJ different.

Pros

Some amazing and passionate set of people trying to add value. Flexible working hours and approachable management locally.

Cons

No career opportunities being based in Sydney with the move to low cost countries irrespective of caliber. Political and very slow to make decisions. Large turnover which has resulted in most of the knowledge walking out of the door.

We really appreciate you writing. We couldn’t agree more that there are amazing and passionate people at SCJ. We know it’s been tough as reorganizations in some areas have led to fewer roles. We hear you, and agree that investing in people is key. Thanks. We wish you well wherever you’ve ended up.

Pros

World class benefits. Better than competitive compensation. Several other employee perks. Company operates with integrity and is a positive member of the communities where SCJ is located. Current transformational changes have provided some new opportunities for those employees who are interested and comfortable working in a different way.

Cons

Some out of date policies-telecommuting is nearly non-existent. Decision making can be very slow. There is too much work to do and many are feeling over-taxed.

Thanks for your review. It’s really helpful to hear what SCJ people value, and also to get your feedback. We will be sure to share this with the right folks. And, we couldn’t agree more on the importance of integrity. You mentioned a concern about behavior vs. values. If you have a serious situation in mind, please consider calling the Ethics and Compliance Hotline (877-883-6676) to discuss it. We always want to do what’s right.
