Pros

Great location. Occasional free coffee and fruit

Cons

Poor management is the worst thing about RateSetter in Sydney. Senior management don't care much about the employees. Stressful work environment. Salary is not great either. Your work is not appropriated unless it is outstanding. Managers mostly focus on negative and are critical of every little thing

Pros

- Still a small enough company to feel like you have made a difference and contributed to the goals. - Fantastic products that can help and resolve a lot of consumers monetary dilemmas. - Townhall meetings enable the workforce to be kept up to date with the vision on a monthly basis.

Cons

- A lot of influential people have left in the last twelve months which brings with it uncertainty as to why so many have resigned. - Communication is very poor when decision are made overnight and implemented without warning. - Leadership skills still lack across management. - Restrictive approach to renumeration across the whole company even though there are outstanding performers. This can only be due to the vision and p&l. - Fear more employees will resign and move on if they are not felt rewarded or appreciated. - Employee satisfaction is treated like a tick box exercise with a social committee and monthly questionnaire. For a relatively new business this is not the best approach to take and will not gain better morale.
