Pros
Unique opportunities for interesting work given the primary client is the Australian Defence Force
Kontras
While there are unique opportunities, they are rare and can be difficult to actually get with the in-fighting and politics in upper management. There is also always talk about expanding into new ventures to widen the type of work we would be doing, unfortunately it is nothing more than empty talk with no attempt made by any of the managers to even explore new types of work. These same managers then wonder why staff are leaving for companies that actually prefer to look outwards. On top of all this, despite all the “assurance” the remuneration is well below market rate and you better be prepared to fight for even a modest pay rise (and don’t expect any pay rise outside the new financial year).
