Pros

The work environment is healthy and collaborative; colleagues are supportive and willing to help. Local Christchurch management has been friendly, approachable, and people-focused. A flexible hybrid working model: 2 days in the office and 3 days working from home. A strong social club that regularly organizes social and team-building events. Good adoption of AI tools in day-to-day work, including Microsoft Copilot, helping improve productivity and efficiency

Cons

The company has faced financial challenges, leading to frequent redundancies throughout 2025, often occurring quarterly. Significant roles were impacted, including HR, senior engineering, QA, product owners, DevOps, and networking engineers. As a result, local leadership capacity in Christchurch has been reduced. The Christchurch office is now largely managed by US and Australian leadership, which can affect local decision-making, context awareness, and long-term stability.
