Pros
- Opportunities to collaborate with skilled professionals - Ability to work remotely 2 days per week, no flexibility on which days. - Employees based internationally or interstate seem to report a more positive overall experience compared to those situated in Melbourne, where the founders are based
Cons
- Substantial employee turnover - Below-average industry compensation. Salaries haven’t improved since they were a start up. Their competitors pay more - Inadequate pay raises, not aligned with inflation (3% raises vs 7% inflation), even in cases of exemplary performance and promotion - High workload, substantial overtime, excessive pressure from founders and upper management - Extensive micro-management via time-tracking applications on all company computers that record sites and apps visited and duration of breaks - Founders have limited experience in video production and business management, make poor decisions and are not receptive to feedback. Instances of vindictive behaviour towards employees who offer advice - Erosion of work quality due to excessive budget constraints and time pressure - Even a single day of sick leave necessitates a doctor’s note, and employees may still be asked to work a half-day I’d recommend that individuals considering a role within this organisation seek feedback from former employees. This is the kind of workplace where people congratulate you when you quit.
