Pros

Diversified workplace Mobility opportunities (many locations: Nice/London/Sydney are the main dev centers) Opportunity to work on different product, delivered through different technos, great variety of jobs Location OK (near Central Station/CBD) Flexible hours, convivial atmosphere

Cons

Too many home-made software which are usually poorly documented Not very up-to-date in terms of technology. Probably more fun to be there as a manager, rather than a hardcore dev. No clear career path and opportunities (either technically or in a managerial position) As the company gets bigger, too much paperwork, procedures, polticial stuff you don't want to be involved in Salary is just average compared to other companies Sydney-wise

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
