Pros

- Highly skilled and experienced technical staff - Opportunity to work on advanced engineering projects within the defense sector - 9-day fortnight schedule, which helps manage work-related stress - Collaborate with a diverse and international community, offering both opportunities and challenges - Gain insight into the complexities of international business politics and how international executive decisions can impact subsidiary operations - Ideal for those who thrive in a dynamic environment, even if it means working long hours on projects without immediate visible outcomes and recognition - Advancement opportunities for individuals who can navigate and adapt to the company's challenging business practices and culture

Cons

- The Australian business is managed by a team that exhibits immature and unprofessional behavior, especially when their demands are not met. - Strategic management requires significant improvement - Culture discourages inquisitiveness, open questioning and transparency - Daily responsibilities are dominated by endless meetings and emails, often hindering productivity with a focus on design by committee. - Organisational instability and lack of clear direction and goals, often influence by spur of the moment strategic decisions internationally. - Engineering department faces a disconnect with executive leadership, which undervalues technical expertise - Highly challenging work environment with significant turnover, including key management team members, following 2023 redundancies - Despite a unified company ethos, internal competition for executive favor undermines collaboration - Prevalence of nepotism, with promotions and opportunities often based on conformity rather than merit - Significant attrition in the engineering team since the start of 2024, with no clear strategy for replacing these positions - Individuals who volunteer for attrition positions often encounter difficulties in receiving market-value compensation, and sometimes even the baseline salaries for the roles they assume.
