Still a good ride for most. Much to be gained from the experience.
Pros
Both personally and professionally Tigerspike has challenged me. There is considerable space to grow and undertake self improvement, and wow! you will need to learn fast. The people are the most welcoming and dedicated I have ever worked with. I have huge respect for everyone I work with in the Melbourne office, both as professionals and as the lively, intelligent, and fun people each of them are. New techniques and technology are welcomed and shared broadly within the business, among genuinely passionate and committed people. The client work varies in scale and shape, with occasional secondments to global offices (physically pre-COVID, now virtually). The business has a mature and effective way to engage clients, both new and existing. Many more positives.
Cons
Going pains. Historical small business approach now challenged by huge market competitors and a juggernaut parent company with a very different stride. Management focus tends to be short term.
