Pros & Cons

  • The culture and support of people across disciplines.
  • The work place culture, everyone is lovely and very inclusive. We do a lot of work place/team building activities and its great getting to know everyone. I also love the scope of the work, I do there is so much variety.
  • Work load for a graduate is a good balance between field work and office work.
  • Friendly environment, interesting range of work.
  • Making sure you fit within the culture.
  • Probably lack of interaction with other disciplines and sometimes not enough planners to provide support particularly when there are high workloads and people working part-time/on leave etc.
  • Some of the jobs I've done I feel are a bit above my experience, although I like a challenge, I also hate taking a long time to complete what might be a simple task to others and I feel a little bad about that.
  • It's hard to think of a worst, sometimes the aircon is a bit cold.

Career Prospects
The company is still growing so there is plenty of opportunities to move up within the company and also be involved in a range of projects. I simply have to let my team leader know of my goals and they help formulate a plan to help support my career goals.

Corporate Social Responsibility
I am unsure on this. This might be something good to get graduates involved in and get them leading initiatives - cultural things like this is something I would love to get involved in.

Work Hours
I work 8.30-5.00pm Monday to Friday, sometimes I might be required to do extra hours to get a job out but I can recover the time later in the week or the next week. My company seems very flexible if I need time off it is easily approved and they are very understanding/flexible when it comes to life outside of work.
