Unlike anywhere else I have ever worked
Pros
This company has serious scale...and the potential when they do finally get their s**t together is huge! I don't think that is going to happen any time soon though! The Australian office is a total joke
Cons
Where do I start?In Australia the HR team was reduced to such a small function that it is ineffective. As a result a lot of very average people hiring more junior people exactly like them unsupervised. There is no strategy on the consumer side. Not working as a team, wasting massive amounts of money on vanity marketing sponsorships. An obsession with acquiring new customers, but losing customers at a much faster rate - which noone tries to address! Also tries to promote itself as a leader in terms of women in the workplace. The reality is they try to resist allowing any women returning from maternity leave to work part time. Every head regardless of hours worked counts as 'full-time', hence it is in the companies interest to minimise part-timers.Where they do get to work part-time( miraculously) they are expected to work on their days off consistently - my manager told me 'that is just the way things work here'. Honestly so many staff who have been there too long - it needs a huge clear out and a restructure to bring in fresh (and current) ideas...just too institutionalised.
