Engineer
Sep 2026Adelaide SA 50001 to 2 years in the role, current employee
Very welcoming at hire. Lots of promises broken once you're in.
The good thingsNice office. Some good people. Many a restructure keeps things interesting.
The challengesTrying desperately to balance being a business that makes money with being people oriented. It's not working. HR and DEI practices ruin the employee experience. Profitable business performance is taboo and hidden behind modern corporate practises and politeness.
