Pros

Parking, restaurants are nearby Albert park and a beach

Cons

- what the management claims the company is and they typically oversell), many positive things are promised, such as a good team culture, career progression, etc. But its way to far from the truth - Poor Management huge lack in terms of transparency, professional, an unstructured - No values apart from performance and numbers, that's it! - People are in for their own gain - Low-quality training, support investment in staff, but high expectations - Taking on more than they can chew - Have less politics

Pros

- Nice office - Dog friendly

Cons

- Company under administration and there seems to be no solid plan to sort the financial woes of the company - Tranding insolvent since Sepetember 2020 and nothing done till August 2022, where the company went into voluntary administration. - Dispute between CEO & CEO's ex-father in law who are all in the director board has been highligted as the main reason for most of the issues by the administrator. Both parties and the executive board knowingly traded the company while insolvent. - Employees' super hasn't been paid since about January 2022 - As part of the voluntary administration process, all creditors(employees) had to vote on a DOCA proposal. One was from the CEO and the other one was from the CEO's ex-father in law trying to cease ownership of the company. - CEO's DOCA won(under questionable circumstances) and ever since then anyone who voted against the CEO or who was sitting on the fence have been terminated. - About 40% of the workforce has resigned/terminated since July 2022. At the moment it is on survival mode. - The father-in-law's team is likely to challenge the vote in court, in which case this entire drama will unfold again, so unlikely to see any stability any time soon - In summary, it is a very messy place where Team 1(CEO & the executive team) are in a quarell with Team B (Father-in-law and a group of ex-empoloyees) trying to cease ownership of the company.
