    Senior Director
    Jan 2022
    1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Positive enhancements happening consistently, smart people, continued evolution of product, tech, innovation, processes and benefits.
    The good thingsI love the team i work with and working with the broader teams across Asia. I've recently referred people to work here which is testament to how I rate our company - they joined and love it. Also several people left previously and applied to rejoin again - almost 10 have returned in the past 18 months and express how things have changed positively from prior years and prior leadership.
    The challengesAfter acquiring other businesses a couple of years ago, it has taken time to align all processes / platforms / systems and that can be frustrating in some teams. There are plans underway to combat this, but it takes time.

    The good thingsThey really don't manage you so you can do whatever you like. Work Life balance is good because basically no senior supervision at all always happy for me to take leave
    The challengesno company direction no vision from senior management every man for himself in that place and it starts at the top

    Cards
    Apr 2018
    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Was a fun place to work. The people made it fun. Poor systems from US. Finance division a basket case. Probably needs a shake up and it will continue to grow.
    The good thingsGreat people spread throughout the organisation. New acquisitions in Melbourne which seems to be run well. Individuals always happy to help and a real team spirit. Good range of age which makes it a fun social environment. Terrible office.
    The challengesPoor leadership from top. Possibly been in role too long and now trying to reap benefits. Micro manager with poor leadership traits and values. Back-end processes antiquated. We seem to react to card partners rather than proactive.
