Pros

Nothing at all. Toxic positivity.

Cons

Someone should seriously look in to the customer experience leadership team in Melbourne. Maybe give them a knowledge test and see who passes. I know 2 managers should be able to, but with the other 2 I'm not sure about 1, but I can 2000% sure that the one team leads who's name starts with a ' H' will fail. She doesn't know anything. Doesn't do any work, all I have seen is she doing online shopping or playing worddle or she waste time at meetings. She was an absolute bully !!! She micro manages. I think. She favours people who suck to her, and bullies the rest until they do.

Pros

Freedom to work from home as many days as you like Health insurance Working with a smart bunch of people, lots to be learned

Cons

Feels like there is very little trust towards engineers at the upper levels Hard work goes unappreciated in favour of pointing out shortcomings New performance framework has become a vector for micromanagement
