Great work-life balance and workplace culture. Exposure to projects and day-to-day problem-solving.
Great level of support. Fantastic team of people to work with.
A large, interconnected network of people over different disciplines with ranging expertise that can help.
I love being able to work in the minerals industry without having to go FIFO as the refineries and mines are within driving distance from home. Being an international company, I may have future opportunities to travel abroad for work. The graduate program itself offers a lot of opportunities for both personal and professional development. This is captured in monthly graduate days, extra training courses as well as responsibilities given to me in my everyday work. On top of this, Alcoa is very diligent in making sure you have a job after the graduate program is complete, securing my future career.
It is relaxed compared to consultancy, training events are provided.

The low turnover of employees can be both good and bad. On one hand you have years of experience to tap into, but on the other hand, it can make it difficult to change strategies and methods of work.
Change seems difficult due to the systems in place or long-standing practises.
The ageing demographic. A lot of workers have been here for over 20 (often 30 or 40) years. This means that not only do I have to work consistently with people of an older generation, but trying to change the culture in areas that require it becomes quite difficult.
Lack of on the job training.
The old unionist and pessimistic mentality of some of the workers. It really is a great place to work, so the negativity is frustrating at times.
