Pros
People are passionate and excited about the Project. Some people work very hard and believe in the difference they will make to the Australian Army. Offices are very nice. 9 day fortnight is good.
Cons
Company is a complete disaster. I believe this is primarily German and Australian cultures clashing, poor leadership, directors and execs being disconnected from the reality and inter company feuds. Management refuses to accept the position they have created and have a laissez-faire attitude that everything will be fine. Company has a negative culture around bad news and asking for help or highlighting issues. Most of your time is spent generating report after report. Very hard to get time with anyone who can make decisions. There is always another department or business to blame and a hesitance to help others or communicate issues that the team is experiencing. This resulted in different functions refusing to talk to each other. Major analysis paralysis, Management rather make others gather more info because they don't believe things are as bad as advised. Some managers are genuinely bullies. I've seen people get shouted at and constantly belittled in large meetings. I've know people who were threatened to be terminated only weeks after starting.
