Pros
It was a big, spread out company. My experience was bad however I know many of the other offices in regions and other capital cities had fantastic cultural environments.
Cons
My few months at Findex were pretty miserable. I started as a graduate and with a completely unmanageable workload, received little in the way of development opportunities. The culture was poor and very cliquey. There was minimal interaction in my own dept - I genuinely don't know what some of the people in my team actually did, who sat two metres away from me. I don't recall any perks and benefits so there was little incentive to stay. It was ironic seeing Crowe Horwath USA introduce initiatives like casual dress and flexible work that Findex actually rolled back like cutting casual Friday's. It very much felt like a facade. On the outside Findex talk about how revolutionary they think they in the way of culture and technology. The reality internally is that you'll be working with antiquated technology and as above, in a poor culture all about slapping a few buzzwords on a wall and pretending they're lived up to. As my first full time job out of uni, Findex wasn't a great introduction to the workforce. Leaving was the best career decision I've made.
