City of Perth

What is the best part of working at the company?
The sweet validation of realising that the corruption and incompetence you've sensed your whole life is real. The central location was nice too.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The first moment you see it all clearly and realise that, without a good and proper clean-out of the grime-y figures and dusty processes that constitute much of the organisational structure of the City of Perth, there is no positively impactful work that you can do here that will survive the persistent corruption.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. Archaic. So much deluded self-importance. "Due process" is interviewing 5 candidates for an executive position, but making sure that the manager's friend is one of them (and the one who gets the job).

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Between being asked to delete or rewrite history from the public domain and witnessing corrupt business deals in real-time, most of the job involves paying external agencies ludicrous and ever-increasing pools of money to do your job. Most people who work here are un- or under-educated, or have succumbed to the culture of incompetence.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The first 3 years were fantastic - New CEO commenced and moral nose dived and 70 percent of staff resigned 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being bullied by senior staff members 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad, toxic and stressful - would not recommend anyone to pursue a career at the City of Perth unless a restructure was to take place -

Very challenging, there are no two similler days during the working week. Customer expectations are extremely high. Planing has to be very precise with lot of Protocols to follow. Lot of meetings, discussions with stakeholders, clients, secretaries, organisers etc to make the function memorable, enjoyable and productive. Very fun working place where i managed to meet different types of people from all social tiers.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress stress stress you never did enough

Political work environment where favoritism and alliances is very evident.  
Best to be friendly, polite to all where possible.
Great place to learn about Local Government however some staff very anti local government.

Nice place to work, well looked after good team mates. Management were firm but good. Hardest part of job was night shift. Most enjoyable part of job was meeting different people each day of the week.

What a shame of an organisation that had such potential. 
The Executive team are micro managers and some of them bullies that make people cry on a regular basis.

If you join now, you will regret it. 

Highly recommend.
I learnt alot in my time there by experienced co workers who where more than willing to share there knowledge.
Management are easy to deal with and encourage a collaborative culture.

Political dominance from the top to bottom.

Highly secretive practices in decision making with no transparency in cooperation amongst colleagues, let alone working with other divisions with the City Council.
