Pros and cons of working at MYOB

Company culture. Welcoming, encouraging, strong promotion of teamwork, great diversity in all areas.

Cons
Commute, but that's obviously out of everyone’s control.
When given so much freedom it can be hard to know which way to go. Fortunately, there are plenty of people happy to answer questions to help you find out.
The economy impacting internal hires and career growth.
When awesome people leave and join other companies.
The transition from acceleration -> crew rotations -> associate is very manual and not well supported. The individual graduate has to find their own way and sometimes it's a hit and miss where they end up.
