Pros

- Good coffee shops around the corner

Cons

- Directors and CEO are corrupt and have little to no management skills - Exhibitions are all over budget and behind schedule, CEO and Directors are lying to treasury about both budget and schedule - curators are no longer curators, They are object researchers, told to do what the CEO wants (which is pulling together whatever is the most instagramable exhibition / visual display) - $250k contracts awarded directly to old friends and work colleagues - no autonomy to do work or feel job satisfaction - $1 million of taxpayers money being spent on a sketch drawing with no consideration of value for money - Attempted Contract splitting to try - sashimi bar Christmas party for 10s of staff using taxpayers money (generally illegal for state government do to this) - For state government which claims it is flexible, all staff have been ordered to be in 5 days a week. (Except the directors who wfh when they want)
