Pros

Great people across some departments, they have been there for a long time

Cons

People in the Australian office have been there for a long time, which makes it feel like a government company. Very hard to change things as they are used to their old ways. No processes or procedures in writing, so everything is in the air. Which makes things complex as everything is changed by whim of one senior finance individual. Finance is led by people who are not supportive and who don't listen. Whenever you call or ask via an email, expect to not get an answer or never get a reply, so there's quite a lot of things that you need to "figure it out by yourself". Knowledge is power in this place, and said senior finance individual is not willing to share it, so it is really hard to succeed here. No training provided in a very complex environment. Management is totally absent, so you are let yourself to your own luck. No real career opportunities within finance and the teams are really stretched. I would definitely not recommend this place if you are looking to continue your career. Don't be lured by the salary or perks, as at the end of the day it does not match the amount of work you do.
