Sexual harrassment and gender inequality promoted

Pros

Facilities, functions, pay and bonus (if they decide to actually pay it regardless of targets being hit)

Cons

If you are a female be prepared to have little to no career advancment, HR are unhelpful and nurture the boys club mentality taking no action when a whole team of women working for 3+ years are systematically performance managed out with ridiculous new targets when new male managment takes over and replaces the whole team twice in 6mnths (bad for customer service). Sexual harrassment is ignored even if its in writing via work place email.

Pros

Salary packages, office environment is clean, tidy and well organised. Free drinks in the kitchen. Some really talented people in the organisation but unfortunately some are not recognised as they would be elsewhere.

Cons

HR are that desperate to perpetuate the myth about the work environment that they put their own posts up - see "growing business". CEO has been very well coached by HR but now they have run out of ideas or impetus about how to promote the company values. Not sure what HR do except organise training courses where senior managers in glass houses throw stones at their employees. If you are not in the inner circle be very careful about having alternative views. Three strikes and you're out. Perceptions are everything with this company. Exec have the Company sale in their sights and are making hay while the sun shines.

Pros

Kitchen, Salary and Bonus (Were once upon a time!!), TV screens to catch up with sports.

Cons

First of of all my prayer for those who have decided to take a job out there in Sydney office. Forget it even that wont help as you are destined to be doomed. PEOPLE: Biased, Bullies, Have personal vendetta, Once they have milked every drop of sweat and blood of you, Oh yes which they will!! They will shamelessly ignore your existence and hang you out to bleed after the job is done. Every soul out there currently at middle management level is looking to please the management so that can manage their bonus payouts. Some of them are "industry smarts" but as people are nothing more than just "Yes" man when speaking to their bosses. CULTURE: Political nightmare; they do place people in leadership and management position who have no skill to perform that job BUT they are close to CEO and/or CFO. EMPHASIS: Meaningless analysis and death by PowerPoint which goes back to the fact that people leading the team are incompetent and need to be educated first through "Ad-Hoc" analysis and thereafter can use the same for upward management to blow their own trumpet. PRIORITIES AND WORK PRESSURE: Because the owners like "finger on the pulse" they need heaps of financial reports and re-forecasts. Given that they have been trying to sell the business there are lengthly other assignments too. Everything is due now and you need to have an attitude that there are 24 hours in a day.
