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 di๏ฌ€erence.
