Pros

Amazing People & Culture team, daily global collaboration, genuine flexibility to balance work with life, overwhelming numbers of driven and talented people who are excited to come to work each day, continuous learning and growth mindset encouraged and embedded into how we work, opportunities to grow your career overseas, awesome office location and fit-out!

Cons

Not really a con, but the complexity of the global organisation made up of acquisitions means it might take a bit longer to settle in and understand who's who and what's what, but everyone's happy to help
