Pros and cons of working at Optus
Pros
I love the culture and support my current team provides me. I am always learning or doing something on the job, and the vibes are always good.
Supportive environment and working with people who are hardworking/passionate about their craft. Plenty of opportunities for career growth.
Flexible hours e.g. 9am-5pm or 8am-4pm (discussed with your manager).
Diversity is greatly celebrated at Optus. I have had some fantastic opportunities through the Express Yourself Network (LGBTQIA+) as well as support from the Disability Network.
Most of the colleagues are open minded and welcome to questions. As a new grad I can ask for coffee chat from different people and learn a lot from them.
Cons
The processes/technology not being up to date.
Structure of the graduate program has also had some issues. It felt like they proposed or had a lot of structure, but there actually was not much to back it up.
Some unrealistic expectations may lead to late night work and pressure.
More support and structure around the rotations to other teams.
Currently tech grads have 2x 1 year rotations, which limits the breadth of growth and exposure that's possible for a grad to achieve. Moving to 3x 8 month rotations would make a world of difference.
