      Good location and benefits, but does not outweigh the cons.

      Pros

      Good CBD location Life leave and birthday leave Decent salary and yearly bonus Mentoring and skills workshops available

      Cons

      Not very stable. There was a lot of restructuring and redundancies during my time there. In my department there were people who resigned without having another job lined up. It was sad to see many good people leave.
