Low pay, backwards company

Pros

They don't discriminate with who they exploit.

Cons

Pay is extremely low They promote internally - giving people new job titles with no pay rise It's a back-stabbing culture, everyone lives in fear of being reprimanded by the CEO who emails people on a whim and doesn't like hiring new people who would "tell him what to do" The website looks like it's from 15 years ago it's embarrassing - nobody knows what they're doing. 12 people in the marketing team left in four months (from a team of about 20). That says it all. They froze company pay rises saying "times are tough, we haven't met our targets" then held a meeting a few weeks later to gloat about how they'd made hundreds of millions of dollars that year. Dead. The greed is next level.

Pros

1. Great team members at lower level and middle level managers. 2. Fast turnaround of ecommerce features on the website. 3. Get the chance to contribute towards the top line with less of a hierarchy. 4. If you negotiate, pay would be good. 5. Great staff discounts on products sold on Kogan website.

Cons

1. Verbal abuse in inter-department meetings, ranked no 1 is the Head of Marketplace. 2. Each HOD are nodding their heads in meetings with the CEO. Whenever someone speaks rationally, the CEO listens. Unfortunately, not many leaders and brave enough to do so. 3. Inter-departmental politics (tied to point 1 above) where there's a lot of blame gaming. 4. Managers play favourites, and politics and favoritism is just unlike any other place I've seen. 5. Open pro-Israeli propaganda including circulation of emails, HOD offices with flags drawn, rabbi's rock up at the office door. Please leave your politics at home.

Iffy Leadership and Openly Political

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- People at the lower level are friendly and team environment is good. - People are willing to lend a hand and help if you need it. - Relatively easy work. Such an outdated backend system that it's not that complicated to get a hold around. - Super chill team with lots of social events and opportunities. Not super hard on you to work and trust you to do your work.

Cons

- Senior leadership stresses out middle and lower level employees with high demands and expectations. - No policies to stop political views. Heavily openly Zio company, particularly at the higher level. Flags drawn in office, yellow ribbons worn (not for breast cancer) etc.. Racist remarks openly said by heads of department. Feels like you have to be pro Israel or you can't say anything at all which can make you feel extremely uncomfortable at times. In fact, I don't recall there being any Islamic employees. - So much emphasis on bottom line that they forget that bottom line isn't everything in Marketing (i.e. reputation, awareness, public sentiment). Just because you can do things, doesn't mean you should. - Leadership uses culture of 'Keeping it real' as an excuse to just be disrespectful and rude to lower level employees and even external partners. - 1 WFH day in 2025 is a bit laughable. - If you don't negotiate your pay, they'll offer you absolute bottom. Negotiate and it's just alright. A lot of people leave beacuse the pay doesn't match the workload.
