Pros

The good side of working here, is the flexibility of working. You have fun activities , often .

Cons

The company changes their organisational structure quite often and expects everyone to adapt to it. They make roles redundant on every year basis and during the onboarding process they would make it seem that they have too many projects to work on but the reality is different.There is no scope of promotion or increement, the performance of an employee is never valued and you have people leaving the organisation few months after they join. They would always only appreciate the senior most employees who had been in the organisation and the rest of them our judged. They try to extract work with lack of resources instead of leaning out tasks. It's more of an environment of 'Do what I say' than 'I am open to your suggestion'. Micromanagement is the core of this organisation. There's no growth in the organisation. The one on one reviews , your managers keep giving feedback of you need to learn new training sessions, spend your own money than rather saying we as a company will support you in the growth. It's more about your manager thinks and decides for you than the organisation by itself. The company training sessions during onboarding is not great. There's no formal documentation for you to read or to go through the contents of it. The job description and the work you do is totally different. Your responsibilities may change in few months. Please don't waste your time , joining this organisation.

Pros

Small and nimble. Founder led and culturally diverse (Australia, Brasil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, South Africa, US and Venezuela). Everyone genuinely cares. Warm, welcoming, and willing to invest in people and technology. Actually ask [and listen] to your feedback. The technology works. Opportunity to get in on the ground floor and shape the future.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but applicants should expect a lean company with a fairly flat org structure. You will need to own your development and on-going training and learn by osmosis. If working remote, you should have an entrepreneurial mindset/tolerance and be aware that Australia is in a different timezone.

Pros

Generally nice people Remote Work if that is something you seek

Cons

Made promises and committments to marketing resources, sales support, and lead generation for sales. After 2 months into the role, they still had not delivered on any of their committments. They will ask for your LinkedIn Login and then SPAM all of your connections and connections of your connections with canned emails. It's been over a month since I left and I am still cleaning up their mess in my account. Very likely they will get your LinkedIN account flagged for inappropriate use and content. Will use lead gen and marketing companies in Australia who have no idea on how to go to market in the US. No leads provided - I was asked to go out and cold call companies. Do not understand the US competitive landscape. Their solution is not unique as they claim it is.
