Pros

The underlining business model is cool and has potential and I think I believe in the tech. I get paid well and I like a few of my colleagues. Met the new CEO and he has a PHD.

Cons

Met the new CEO who has a PHD, just not in anything relevant to running the nearmap business. Not impressive. For potential candidates, this would be a risky move. Leadership is flaking out by the day. Don't give up a solid role thinking you are coming to work with tech players wwho know what they are doing.

Pros

Free food, good location in Barangaroo

Cons

Culture of gossip, complete lack of professionalism or integrity from HR department, which starts and ends with the VP of People and Culture. Said VP has had countless formal complaints lodged against them, for embarrassing breaches of conduct. Said HR team spends half its time on Glassdoor trying to balance out the well-deserved poor reviews that Nearmap is attracting - and presenting a facade of being a "great place to work". Ironically, these very people are the ones who are steadily ruining the company. This, coupled with a VP of Sales completely out of touch with employees, and under the thumb of his best mate in HR, makes for an officious and nasty place to work.

Pros

Nothing.. Maybe the medical benefits?

Cons

Struggling company, poor management, confused business direction.. Office politics are on par with bigger companies, too much sucking up here. The board is trying to grow too fast (with upper and middle management not standing up to them) and layoffs occur regularly… With a ton of casualties. Pressure is huge and expectations not realistic. You're seen as a "goal" rather than a person.. nearmap doesn't have a competitive advantage in the Silicon Valley technology market space, you're not fooling anyone that knows this industry. With no exit strategy in sight, consider stepping down and let more competent individuals attempt to clean up your mess...
