AI summary of recent reviews
Employees appreciate their colleagues, describing them as genuinely good people who are supportive and collaborative. The work/life balance is well managed with good flexibility, and many note that company values are actively lived, with a focus on safety and supporting regional communities. The office environment is modern and well-appointed, and employees feel recognised and supported in their work.
However, there are some potential challenges, particularly around executive leadership and strategic direction, with frequently changing priorities mentioned by several employees. Culture requires ongoing attention, with some mentions of office politics. Career development opportunities could be enhanced, and management approaches vary across business units. Frequent restructures have created some uncertainty, and systems and processes are still maturing, which can occasionally slow decision-making.

Sep 2026Brisbane QLD 40003 to 4 years in the role, current employee
Provides great lessons on dealing toxic corporate culture
The good thingsMorning and afternoon teas, monthly birthday cakes, and SOME great people who love doing what they do.
The challengesPerformative culture - top management don't walk their talk. A lot of initial initiatives are done to "improve culture" but they do not really follow through ie culture surveys that just keep measuring culture but no other actions on how to really improve it. The business attracts both competent and incompetent people, and unfortunately, the incompetent ones get promoted and protected, and the prior just keep leaving.

A company where good culture is talked about but doesn't actually exist.
The good thingsThere are and were some great people, good location near public transport.
The challengesC-Suite is more about power and control than actually being able to deliver any return on investment. Being thrown under the bus is norm, gaslighting is rife and until those running the business are either replaced or let go it sadly isn't going to change.
