Pros

- Pool table, bar, free coffee, free lunches ….all the superficial things to try and mask a good company “culture” in my opinion.

Cons

In my opinion the senior management team is like a boys club and you are made to feel isolated if you aren’t in the “club”. - When Covid hit the management were reluctant to let us wfh until they basically had to because of the government implementing lockdown….in my opinion we were literally the last company in AU to be able to wfh which made me feel that they don’t trust their employees !!! - Fast growing company , in my opinion it’s about about the revenue and lots of pressure constantly by managers because they are constantly under presssure. Became a stressful environment to work in. - lots of big egos in my opinion amongst the sales team , everyone is fighting for attention from the executives , and many people get too loud and out of hand at work and office events as there is lots of drinking.

We have never had an employee from, or work in, Darwin, nevertheless I would like to address the review. Like most companies in Australia we had staff WFH, return to the office, WFH and so on for almost 2 years. Since Australia has opened back up we have introduced a hybrid working environment allowing ALL staff to work from home 2-3 days depending on their department. Hopefully this is evidence of the trust we have in our people. Our monthly staff engagement rating (s/o Culture Amp) for the last 12 months has averaged about 85% (86% in September) - this is above or equal to both benchmarks we measure ourselves against : -Top 25% of Fintechs globally -Top 10% of Australian businesses with 100-200 employees This year we have also been certified as a Great Place to Work, while we finished in the Top 10 in the AFR Best Place to Work awards (Banking, Super & Fin Services category). Finally, I think the other reviews on this platform paint a different picture to this review. I'd welcome further discussion on this, particularly at which stage during the 3 years at CW you felt these Cons started to appear. PC

Pros

It’s easy to hit targets. You just have to work hard

Cons

Could vary for different people, but it’s a scale up. Which means lots of changes.
