Pros
Implementation teams (people on the ground) are all very nice.
Cons
Stay away from NZ Post Digital, management is toxic and try to overload new staff with all sorts of work from Day 1 without any support or onboarding. Needs for time to ramp up essentially fell on deaf ears, every ‘catch up’ is an opportunity to overload staff with more and more work. When I was 1 month in in I was literally working till 1AM most nights due to the incompetence and lack of support from Digital Leadership, rather they just push to get away with as much overloading teams as they can. They say they care about their people and give BA’s and PO’s advice to not overcommit, but then find every opportunity to overload the team with non-prioritised work, then blame the team on not getting planned work done. Resourcing is a major issue - 1 developer struggling with 10-15 end-to-end projects in a single quarter, and there’s apparently ‘no budget to hire new people’, resulting in lots of third-party offshore contractors for separate projects which they then put additional burden on the team to manage. The worst place you can ever be if you want to grow in the BA/Product space.
