Good workmates

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Rooty Hill NSW - 22 May 2019

Fun work environment, I learned a lot about glasswool and how it is needed in the building industry, there wasn’t really anything hard about the job, it is pretty easy if everyone just works as a team, most enjoyable part would be the conversations and jokes with the workmates

Pros

Munch truck

Cons

Itchy from product

Poor Management

HVAC General Manager (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 12 March 2019

Culture and Senior Management was poor, very top heavy. Numerous failed Senior appointments with empty promises of change. Branch left understaffed and poorly stocked.

Great team, friendly environment

Transport Sourcing Manager - Australia (Former Employee) - Doncaster VIC - 27 July 2018

Had the pleasure of working with a great team. Made it pleasant to go to work each day. Unfortunately a recent restructuring of the organisation saw several people made redundant, including myself. Would have been ok if I hadn’t only just joined the organisation and was 9 months into the role.

Pros

Great people

Cons

No job security, redundancy was poorly managed. No communication, no face time engagement from hr.

Culture

Senior Asset Manager/Tradelink Portfolio (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 20 March 2018

The most difficult aspect was the culture, far too many people looking after their own reputations vs. working together to get goals etc. completed and rolled out.

Pros

Travel

Cons

Office Politics

Company that is finally going places

Talent Channel Manager - Australia (Contract) (Former Employee) - Melbourne, VIC - 19 October 2015

After years of disjointed operations, poor leaders and over spending on central support functions FB have got their act together - and are doing some great things. Leaders who know how to get the most out of people, listen, engage and take feedback on-board. This happening in the past 12-18 months though as their has been a change of personnel in key leadership positions across FB's businesses. They've gone from a company of rewarding and promoting those who have been there the longest - to those who perform and acheive. And for me this was rewarded with continued responsibility, growth in development and financial reward. The only real downside from my time was that their IT 'help' desk internal and external support were well below the required standard. There are a few good senior IT PM's within the company but everything seems to take a long time to achieve what is standard practice in complex matrix organisations in the UK or Europe.
