Pros

QML is always hiring. It's the only place that will take you if you need some experience. Great for employment during a pandemic.

Cons

QML is always hiring cause they don't pay their staff a livable wage. You get more money filling shelfs at a supermarket than you do a Scientist at QML. The company made a huge profit in the pandemic, and to thank us for all our hard work, they wouldn't move you up the run cause they "don't have the money for that". QML legit got the AFL, NRL, Soccer and GOVERNMENT contracts, which was a multi million dollar success, that they refused to pass down to the people that worked the +14 hr shift, 7 days a week. Good to know that the time I miss out with my family for Christmas was lining your pockets. You will get bullied by management, the best part is when they are hot and cold to you. You could legit bend over backwards to help them out, but the next day you are slapped with a non conformance cause you didn't do a certain thing right (even though you aren't "signed off" to do that shift). Thank you is not a word they are used to, and it makes you feel like you are constantly replaceable (which you are). Get ready for 6 day work weeks which you can't opt out of, cause its mandatory. You wanted that Saturday off in a months time? You sent an email to the relevant bosses and they responded that its okay? Too bad, you've been rostered on for it.

Pros

I literally can’t think of anything

Cons

-Upper management is horrible. -very limited parking, although becoming better as more people quit. -Pay not competitive -benefits not competitive (only 2 weeks paid mat/pat leave) -Mould on the ceilings not dealt with, often have health issues due to the work environment -Very slow fixing any repairs. Bathroom door in the ladies was broken for almost a week. And that was the fastest repair I’ve seen. -Colleagues have stolen people’s lunches and containers from the shared fridges with no consequences - not provided with any spare cutlery in the work kitchen. If you forget yours too bad, even though it is a legal requirement for larger businesses (which QML qualifies as)

Pros

Good parking, and that's really about it. A few decent and lovely people here.

Cons

Men in dresses allowed to use women's toilets, tall poppy syndrome, managers afraid of highly skilled and intelligent people, unwilling to properly train them out of fear of looking inferior. Terrible food and coffee in the cafe, worked like a dog. Nasty and jealous women. HR won't take your complaint seriously, in trouble for talking too much and laughing at work. Wouldn't even recommend this place to a recovering drug addict. Night work is a requirement as well as weekend work.
