Pros

External market branding is good. Some very clever people.

Cons

Business has lost its way. Top management (C suite) have a clear vision, but the next level of management are unable to implement it. Too many long term staff whose best work is in the past. The South African business operate unto themselves. Has been described as a franchise - looks the same on the outside, but the regions do things their own way.

Pros

Some flexibility with hours and able to purchase leave

Cons

Forced compulsory taking of leave on one occasion on about 6 weeks notice that all staff forced to take about 3 weeks compulsory leave; redundancies of senior staff who are respected and for whom subordinates came to Aurecon to work with; management treating staff like morons (eg informing staff that statutory increase in super of .5% was a genuine Aurecon initiated pay increase; considerable internal email spam from CEO down; lack of understanding of the human condition; no dividend on shares last year; incredibly political; you need to align yourself with bullying management and bully staff to meet project milestones = your path to promotion; do not turn down shares which you purchase or you will be freezed out of the Machiavellian club of Aurecon success
