Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is nice to hear you worked with some friendly team mates! It was disappointing to read that your experience wasn't matched in some areas like clarity of direction. Whilst we know we will never be a perfect workplace for everybody, as a growing company we are always looking for ways we can improve and we thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for your contributions during the time you worked with us.

Pros

- Great hybrid options to support work life balance - Great and supportive culture. Never once felt ridiculed / criticized - Office is very modern with amenities and snacks - Legitimately some of the best employee perks I have seen at any business - Wellbeing days: Effectively 6 extra Annual leave days - Work from anywhere: Able to work from anywhere in the world for 1 month of the year (i.e. when on holiday etc...) - Free mattress and other products - Learning and development budget each year - Discounts for friends and family - Employee referral programs - birthday gifts, anniversary gifts and Christmas gifts

Cons

For me the only thing is that the office isnt close to where I live. Its based on Prahran in the inner south east

Pros

You’ll get a free mattress… which will probably outlast your job here.

Cons

If you’re thinking of joining, read this first. Seen it happen time and time again here, from IT to Finance to Product. They bring in good people from outside, pick their brains, take the processes they’ve built, then once the “inner circle” reckons they’ve learned enough, they push them out. This mob started about 10 years back like any other startup, learning from others to get the business going. But now they’re run by a tight group of long-term mates and their mates’ mates, who’ve never worked anywhere else including the people who will interview you. They’re insecure about anyone with fresh ideas, and politics runs the place more than performance. If you’re hoping for a fair go and a proper team culture, you won’t find it here.
