Pros

Monthly staff lunch where there is enough for 3-5 sushi per person (No extra benefits beyond the Australian minimum).

Cons

Overtime on weekends is an implicit expectation as you are 120% always under the pump. Low salary but expecting you to perform miracles because of AI, even with unclear requirements. New manager do not have your back, even in front of demanding and arguably abusive clients. Cut throat environment where a manager contradicts their own advice in order to look good and survive in this toxic company. Cheap 1080p Lenovo monitors if your desk has one at all.
