Pros

Great opportunities, especially in Australia given NZ's currrent economic conditions. Excellent support from senior people.

Cons

Graduatess start off on really low salary compared to the market. Managers pin the blame on junior staff for not finding work/being billable when it is their role to find/assign work as they are the ones winning work despite difficult economic conditions. No support/funding to expand skills further despite the desire on the individual to grow their skillset. Hourly charge rate to client is too high making it difficult to win work.

Pros

Good local company and local culture. Fair pay for senior levels.

Cons

Undertakes too many changes in processes, business strategies, organizational structure, etc. at the same time and it is being done constantly. Pay is a bit sub-par for more junior level positions
