    What’s it like working at RODE?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at RODE appreciate the friendly colleagues and good work atmosphere, along with interesting and challenging work on diverse projects using the latest technologies. There are opportunities to create your own career and make an impact, with freedom to pursue ideas and own projects. Staff enjoy perks such as a free gym, free breakfast, and social events, whilst pay is typically above industry average. The on-site manufacturing facility provides valuable learning opportunities that are rare in Australia.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as management approaches that can vary with changing priorities and policies. The fast-paced and dynamic environment can sometimes feel chaotic, with challenging deadlines and pressure to deliver quickly. Organisation in terms of processes, documentation, and team structures is still developing as the company experiences rapid growth. Project briefs and requirements may change during development, and some departments may experience periods of being understaffed as the business expands.

    Great Staff but Selfish Management
    The good thingsThe regular staff members
    The challengesHaving to work with a DC manager who has no idea and does not respect the employees at all. His main priority is himself.

    If you want to make money, you can work here cause they have a lot of overtime. If you want to grow up in your career, do not work here.
    The good thingsYou can earn lots of money if you accept to do overtime.
    The challengesVery bad management. Managers don't know anything, I found some people are not qualified or have the relevant degree.

    A unique opportunity to fast-track your career with a globally recognised Australian brand.
    The good thingsGreat opportunity to create your own career. Pay is typically above industry average, the company is more than willing to invest in the tools to help you do your job better. Lots of peripheral perks also.
    The challengesLike any organisation experiencing high growth and expansion while at the forefront of technology there are constant challenges and the pace is high. If you're not in a position to commit 100% or looking for something that's not particularly challenging then it's not an ideal environment.
