Pros

Opportunities to work on diverse projects across Australia and Asia, which can be valuable for experience

Cons

Toxic office politics. Decisions often influenced by internal favouritism rather than merit. No career progression. No meaningful recognition, promotions, or pay rises for loyal employee who defend PI claim. Long-serving employees were made redundant shortly after requesting fair career advancement, while leadership roles remained unstable. Lack of integrity in HR practices. Graduate hiring appears driven more by winning industry awards than investing in real talent development.
