Pros
Interesting business with some experts able to teach
Cons
Business is run only to cut costs. Customer and employee satisfaction are an after thought. Employees are over worked and disgruntled and customers are dissatisfied with the lack of service. Top management does not Listen to local input. Will likely get worse before it will get better, if ever!

Pros
The team members were amazing. It was great to work closely with others on various tasks. Accepting of recent college graduates that are willing to put in the effort to learn.
Cons
The core software has been around for 15+ years. It is going to take time to transition to modern principles. If you are willing to help modernize then this isn't really a con.

Team members, collaboration, flexible schedule with 1-2 days work from home allowance, market leaders, great new content in Learning. Work life balance is generally very good, people don't seem to work more than 7-8 hours a day

Lots of change and more to come, old systems the company seems to be stuck with, when teams are at capacity often cause for longer work days to meet deadlines.

Pros
Free coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate Good benefits Decent salary (I gave this company a 2 star rating only because of the benefits and base pay)
Cons
- Too many to list! - High turnaround - Office is like a morgue (you can hear a pin drop on the other side of the office) - The departments are over worked and the moral in the offices are far from being close to decent. The inside / outside sales reps are always under extreme pressure (in a bad way) - Workload is too extreme and if you do not perform, you are out of the door in 12 months or less. -employee... roles are being outsourced to another country and people are losing their jobs.

-Too many to list... Was there for years and it has only gone down the rabbit hole since. -Stop putting so much on your employees. They are all over worked and you can see it mentally AND physically! -Spinning a wheel for a gas card at the end of each quarter is not motivating.

Pros
Nice office in Sydney with great views, some nice people to work with.
Cons
Poor management; favoritism evident for some staff; clients have little say in who will audit; fees are the highest of any CB, and auditors have to face clients who complain about the costs; remuneration on the lower end. Communication failure quite common - poor or no response to phone calls, emails.
Advice to Management
A good shake up of management would help, listen to the staff before they leave.

Pros
I worked at SAI Global for 3 years, left to try something new, and came back 9 months later. The grass isn't always greener, and I didn't realize how much I enjoyed working at SAI Global until I was gone. The company is full of smart, passionate people who you will learn from and enjoy working with most of the time. The company is an industry leader that works with hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies and has had... some of those customers for 5+ and 10+ years. They offer flexible vacation and work from home policies. Overall, if you're interested in risk, compliance, ethics, and corporate culture, there is no better company to work for.

No company is perfect, but the pros outweigh the cons. None of the cons are so significant that they'll impact your job or experience working there in the long term (in my experience), but there may be some frustrating days and I think that's the truth with any job you may have. If the cons were so bad, I would not have returned.
Advice to Management
None.
