Whilst the benefits of free products can be great it doesnt outweigh a under resourced team!
The good thingsThere are some great people who are wonderful to work with
The challengesMany changes to leadership, poor work-life balance and work not appreciated or valued by leaders.

Poorly planned, poorly run. It’s a circus without a ringleader and too many clowns.
The good thingsFriendly co-workers.
The challengesLack of training and follow up support.
Management have favourites who get the cushy jobs and preferential treatment.

Senior Analyst
Feb 2025Sydney NSW 200011 to 12 years in the role, former employee
Social, vibrant atmosphere but at the same time toxic and political environment
The good thingsOpportunities to grow, work-life balance, friendly staff. Good leaders
The challengesIt's not what it used to be.
Most managers now are there to help themselves and dont support their teams. If you have contacts you get in, move up and enjoy the ripe fruit, otherwise you are stuck. Salaries for long term employees are not competitive and the bonus has not been paid in full for years
