What Graduates Say About Them

The pay is fantastic for a graduate and well above any other companies that I am aware of.
Great balance of work and life having flexible start and finish times, along with a 9-day fortnight.
Good level of emphasis on learning and developing fundamentals prior to being thrust into just deliverables.
The opportunity to gain a wide variety of experience across multiple engineering teams.
The culture is very good in the company. Most people have the mindset to foster learning and development of themselves and others.

Change can be slow within the business. Due to inefficiencies in historic processes, availability of data and regulation, it can be challenging at times for progress to be made.
The worst thing about working for the company is the travel to the office but, there is work from home opportunities available.
Some work may only be available in certain locations across the state.
I struggle to ﬁnd something to put here... No biscuits in the tea room...
