Pros

Reasonable pay and good perks - health cover, share plans etc, WFH til June, flex days.

Cons

Insecure, incompetent, disrespectful, bullying micro-managers. Promotion appears to be only for sycophants in certain teams, with outstanding performers overlooked time and again. Incredibly the top tech guy was taken on despite not knowing C++, when we're a C++ shop. I still struggle to believe this unfathomable decision. Due to the inability of several managers to even do their assigned role, the actual productive team members have to do their work for them. Meanwhile everyone's time is wasted by all the meetings the unproductive managers schedule in order to attempt to appear useful.
