    Project Manager
    Jan 2026
    Melbourne VIC 30008 to 9 years in the role, former employee
    Expendable staff and the illusion of a consultancy
    The good thingsThere are some really good people in the company but you get that in any organisation where there are large groups of people.
    The challengesThe company isn't a consultancy even though everyone who is employed as a Project Manager or Business Analyst is told they are consultants and must act like consultants. The reality is you are pushed out to 'client site' as an expendable PM or BA no differently than if you were a contract PM or BA, except that you have to do additional things, like weekly engagement reports and adhere to an expectation you should do more to contribute back to the company. Doing you day job and making the money for management's salary doesn't seem to be enough. People also get let go pretty frequently, including multiple right before Christmas.

    Wrong role and no opportunity given to move into the right one.
    The good thingsOpportunity to attend speaker forums on a range of interesting topics
    The challengesConsultancy means opportunities to get into the right role are constrained by the opportunities the TF can secure from its clients. Some Line Managers that don't care/know their people. Many admin / reporting tasks.
