      Pros

      - The people and culture are a real strength - Smart, kind colleagues who genuinely care about the work and each other - You can grow quickly if you are proactive and open to change - Fast-moving environment that gives you exposure to different teams and problems

      Cons

      - Execution and communication can feel uneven at times depending on the area - If you do not enjoy fast-moving environments or adapting quickly to change, it can be hard to thrive here - Experiences can vary depending on the function, manager, and stage of change - Priorities are not always as clear or stable as they could be

      Pros

      Genuine care for employee wellbeing through an EAP set-up, unlimited paid leave, enhanced parental leave etc. A large focus on office culture and improving employee experience - frequent office events, Culture Club etc. Central location, close to public transport, free parking provided. Overall, the Auckland office offers great, highly intelligent people, inspiring leaders and a modern, open-plan office. The company as a whole is fast-paced which means you're constantly learning. Being a global company, you're exposed to people all over the world, on different time zones and with different working styles which is arguably an amazing benefit of working here.

      Cons

      Being a foreign owned multinational, the strategy and operations are largely driven by the parent company. This sometimes means having to adapt to decisions made elsewhere and creates a fast-paced, constantly changing environment. Being such a large company, it can be easy to be another "cog in the wheel" without self-motivation and a focus on your own career path.
