Pros

Growing company with big ideas which sometimes just don't come off. But, hey, at least they're trying. Good people in the main, although the sales dept can be a bit of a revolving door. Most of the toxic individuals have now been booted out - there were quite a few - once they left things started to improve. Probably even better now.

Cons

Management can be blind to the real problems facing staff. And many of the staff have become far too jaded and cynical. Salary not the best. The DS channel is run by short term bonus chasing yes-men/women. All they want to do is stuff the channel every quarter to get their bonus - probably every SolidWorks reseller is the same in that regard. Hardly any training offered - if you can do your job, that's great. Keep doing it. So career progression could be limited.

Pros

Having been with the company for 4+ years, I have to say it is refreshing the last 2-3 years to have a new senior leadership including the COO, Commercial Director, new General Managers, the new Head of Marketing and the HR Manager as a united team. They are each great role models to the team. The Culture has greatly improved from when I first started particularly the last 3 years. I would like to thank the management team for the continued opportunities I have been given. I find the senior leadership team providing the HR initiatives, including the way they onboard colleagues, the onngoing learning opportunities refreshing to have in the workplace. I have been able to attend some of the AIM courses backed by the company driven by HR. Particularly in the last 12 months, the impact of the colleagues who had a negative outlook leaving the business has been refreshing. The office is calm, colleagues work together and I feel part of the team.

Cons

Parking is an issue when you drive, but there is parking in side streets close by and short walk to the office. There is paid parking options too if you wish to have undercover parking which some colleagues have in place. It takes me 10 minutes to walk from Pymble station to get to the office and often colleagues give a lift to the train or public transport at the end of the day.

Pros

Having been with Central Innovation for over a decade, I can genuinely say it is an outstanding place to build a long-term career. The combination of its mission, its people, and its continuous drive for excellence makes it a truly special and rewarding workplace. -The culture is highly collaborative. People across all levels have been supportive and always willing to share their knowledge. -Learning and development are genuinely encouraged. Whether you’re in sales or a technical role, there are strong opportunities for growth, training, and certification. -The work feels meaningful. We’re not just selling software — we’re helping companies improve their design processes, optimise systems, and innovate. It’s rewarding to see the real impact we create for clients. -Leadership is approachable. I’ve found managers and senior leaders open to feedback, interested in ideas, and invested in people’s success. -Hard work is recognised. If you put in the effort, you’re supported and rewarded.

Cons

As the teams and company continue to grow, formalizing a centralized knowledge base will help ensure smooth cross-team collaboration and strengthen consistent information sharing across the organization.
