Diversity at Quantium

I've been lucky enough to be a member of Quantium's first Reconciliation Action Plan working group, and while that's great I do think it says something that 2023 is the first time we're doing this

Recruitment has been more diversity focused recently (particularly for C-suite) but Engineering still male focused. Uncertain about child care/maternity. C-suite is pushing to become more diverse.

Extremely diverse workplace with staff from lots of ethnic backgrounds. Company has strong support for the women in the workplace and the LGBT community. There are networking and mentoring groups, flexibility in taking time during the day for picking up kids etc

There are communities to join and celebration of different backgrounds is regularly reinforced through the company newsletter. The gender ratio is unfortunately still heavily favoured towards males. Though the market for potential candidates is certainly male dominated.

Their most recent graduate engineering cohort was not gender diverse, with 3/21 Graduates female. But they do have a series of diversity and inclusion communities

There is consistent support for diversity and inclusion initiatives at Quantium, including Women in Tech initiatives, LGBTIQ support and so on. We have diverse working teams, with people from all backgrounds represented. Taking carer's leave, maternity leave is very normal. It is a fact that women, LGBTIQ etc. are probably still underrepresented in our workplace, particularly in more technical areas vs consulting verticals. However, this is probably a result of more fundamental issues with education.

There are many groups to support diversity and minority groups.

There is a high commitment and many internal initiatives such as a women's network with mentoring and an LGBT network and a multicultural network as well. However I think due to the industry and nature of the field, there is still a lack of gender diversity in many parts of the business

We have communities dedicated to these groups, and they are quite vocal/active at Quantium. Flexible working is also a big thing at the company, people can wherever whenever (basically). A good thing about the company is that everyone understands that others have responsibilities outside work, be it family, taking care of your mental health, etc. and that's respected/reflected in the policies at the company.

Company cares deeply about diversity

There's a lot of women in the leadership team and they are very impressive. I do feel like I'm around a lot of men but it doesn't feel like it comes from a patriarchal stand. I haven't experienced any disrespect or discrimination on the above issues amongst Quantium employees. I don't know anything about child care and maternity leave.

Not as diverse as other companies but there is recognition and appreciation for all.

Retention seems strong company wide, and the staff are highly diverse. Actively promoting women, and hold roles during mat leave

Commitment to diversity in Quantium is taken very seriously but also very organic that it does not feel forced. We have community groups for each category mentioned above.

They seem to not care much about where ppl come from and hire ppl from all backgrounds. Have a big LGTBQI network at work.

As far as I am aware their graduate hiring processes only hire from universities, and I have not seen effort to hire from less privileged backgrounds

They do not focus on specific degrees or WAMs. Instead it is just your performance in interviews and your ability to learn that will make you successful.

No comment - not too across it.

I don't know, do they need to have extra efforts attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds? Especially in Australia.

At least from my experience, Quantium is vocal about the commitment when doing recruitments q&a in university events.
