Pros & Cons

  • The first plus point is I got to work on a real code and product quite early in the program. Some of my classmates who are doing their internship at other companies said they spend the majority of their time reading documentation, which is not my preference. The second plus point is my mentor gives clear instructions and well explanations on the tasks and is always happy to answer any questions. I got enough attention from the mentor and never feel left out. I also got good support from team members. And finally, the friendly working environment at Theta.
  • Recycle system - Theta doing great job on environmental protection
  • Theta values improvement of their employees. There are various initiatives that Theta offer to employees to help their work progression. Theta also celebrates the successes of their employees, whether that be personal or work-related.
  • Exciting projects to work on and the company has a great focus on people and wellbeing.
  • Flexibility around working from home, and support when I need it.
  • Very supportable and helpful. Provides opportunities for real industry projects.
  • I am only here for a short amount of time so really can't think of anything bad at the moment.
  • Working from home a lot at the moment.
  • Some miscommunication around expectations, and about requirements that interns have on a day to day basis.

I was promoted to Consultant quite early on - and "Ghost" promoted to Level 2 Consultant (by "Ghost" I mean I didn't find out via my Direct manager - randomly found out in a company meeting) No real set criteria for moving up - just do good work

Direct manager is good when available, but I see one of my other colleagues as my Technical/Performance manager and my Direct manager as my workload/pipeline manager - Performance feedback is OK

Office Work Environment
Theta has various offices in New Zealand including Tauranga, Auckland CBD, Wellington and Christchurch. Theta also actively considers where their employees would prefer their offices to be, and there has been inquiries as to where employees would prefer the second Auckland office to be. I find the office facilities to be more than adequate. The dress code is smart casual, veering on casual.
