Pros

Great company benefits - free entries to the Perth Zoo, Scitech, The Vines, gym membership discounts, private health insurance subsidy etc.

Cons

Management, in particular some middle management have lost the drive and passion for the company and the work they do in recent years after the cost cuts. Additionally, I feel some of them who may have performed well in their former technical roles who have been put into managerial roles do not perform as well and lack the people skills to lead their team well. As a result, the team suffers and also loses ambition and drive.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Most people stay because of the benefits. Hard to beat the 401k matching, and bonuses at year end. Receive tuition reimbursement. Fantastic safety culture(see below).

Cons

Australian company, Australians tend to hold most upper management roles. Work load can become extreme depending on location. Layoffs. Training can be inadequate, lack of employee development. Safety culture that is becoming all-consuming.
