Slow but stable

Pros

You want to explore Australia top tier tech company. Free snacks and drinks and ice creams if you don't mind gaining weight. Business seems to be steady even when the environment seems to be more toxic everyday.

Cons

The inside might not quite be what you are expecting. Hard working is not rewarding here, in most cases I know it rather quite punishing. Try not to do anything that upset people that out rank you, instead try to provide them with the solution ready and demo as easy as it could be, the credit is their, but you'll be able to avoid pain in the future and hopefully switch team when you are too sick with the status quote of current team. It's a mediocre nine to five job, don't bring your laptop home and do not work extra hours. After a few years I felt it was extremely unethical of me to encourage junior developers to contribute even if they love to, nothing good will come of it. Instead learning from the bad pattern here and invest best practice in your own project to prepare for your future job. Performance review and pay rises are often incomprehensible. Due to the level of education, worthwhile contributions are ignored in favor of political goals in order to maintain benefits for certain people.

The art of chicanery

Pros

Interesting outlook, keeps growing fast regardless the actual quality of the inside.

Cons

In 10 years of my career as a software engineer this is the first company I consider a fraud. Every aspect of the management I have observed at every point when I worked here yielded the same results. Gotta give them credit though for the good masquerade they put up. If you pay attention you will see a most people talk a lot, yet no effort spent and nothing got done after a while. I felt funny any time anyone says they'd fix/contribute something in some public lib that they are using. Given they do not know how it works, I highly doubt they even know basic programming, I did take a leap of faith, put out my best efforts while wait and watch though. Drawing into this kind of discussions to me is a kind of insulting, I am a developer, not a cheap actor. Same behavior on PM or higher level of management, they act like they care, yet put up no effort, and of course no result after years. Changes in middle management are also conveniently happens. Gossiping seems to be the area high paid people were focusing on while i was there.

Pros

No bs, no bs at all. And the customer, what about the customer?

Cons

If you've hear about communism, the system that consist of government members who are not capable of producing value but rob from people that produce. Join this company to find out. Promise you won't find this experience elsewhere.
