Pros

Colleagues are nice, fresh fruit provided each week, located in Melbourne CBD so easy to find a good coffee place.

Cons

Avoid at all costs, you will end up leaving within 12 months like everyone else. The turnover rate at the company is the highest I’ve seen. Most people don’t make it to a year. What’s more, management and HR have no interest in fixing the turnover rate. Micromanagement is a massive issue and it severely impacts staff ability to do a good job. Furthermore, it’s company wide and is adding to the low morale environment. Office politics and favouritism is rife; nothing is based on merit. Success is based on whether upper management likes you or not. Environment similar to an episode of Survivor, everyone whispering and wondering who will be next to be evicted or leave. Rumors circulate daily. Wrong people in charge, while the right people are squashed. This leads to questionable decision making led by those without experience or direction. The ship is sinking and everyone is frantically looking for life jackets. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere.
