Good Intentions, Bad Execution

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate seems to have their stuff together. Pay is pretty good. There are SOME great people there. Good things in the pipeline.

Cons

Some of the new people (at least in 1 department) are incompetent, but somehow, manage to "think" they are untouchable.

Business Outlook

Pros

-The people you work with will be some of the nicest most pleasant people around. -The benefits are good - healthcare from day one (that will also pay for fertility treatments), full pay during family medical leave, if traveling you get to keep all your points and miles -can say no to weekend work and excessive work

Cons

-if you don't say no, you can end up with an endless amount of work that is not humanly possible to finish -there are other places you can be paid better -promotions can be political at higher levels

Business Outlook

Pros

Good products with good technical support. Good company structure, with business unit structure allowing for good customer focus.

Cons

Poor managers empire building, getting Direct reports to do all the work and getting all the credit. Too numbers focused, forgetting about the customer and the employees. Sydney centric organisation with all career progression focused in Sydney.
