Pros and cons of working at Aurecon AU
Pros
Supportive environment. Lots of opportunities and encouragement for training and career development, plenty of different work streams, informal networking events. Many offices mean there's chances for people to move to new areas for interesting and exciting projects.
People genuinely care for you and your wellbeing. Most of the people I have worked with have great work ethics. Approachable and knowledgeable colleagues. Great social life, through emerging professional network (called Limelight) and company events. People don't consider you as a graduate but as a member of the team. They give you the opportunities to develop your career or extracurricular aspirations. Very supportive team.
The company is very caring about my well-being. They are very considerate and always understanding. The work I do is very interesting, and I am learning a lot. A lot of my university work applies and is useful in understanding the task at hand.
Interesting and diverse work. Part of a team that pushes my limits, but also supports me and ensures that I always swim and never sink!
Awesome work-life balance. Flexible arrangements are available. Very creative and innovative for an engineering firm.
The learning and growth opportunities that are available to me. I love that I am not just pigeon-holed in one area and that those around me provide me opportunities to explore different areas of work.
Cons
As a company, the bar is set so high in terms of diversity and inclusion, equality and digital work practices that it gives us permission to complain about things we wouldn't at other companies.
Office culture is moving towards flexible working. Still transitioning away from watching the clock. Flat hierarchy, particularly good for young professionals. Socialising is up to the individual and their teams.
Sometimes a lack of support or understanding of lack of experience. Graduates tend to have to 'do their time' in the tougher field roles until they gain experience and become more senior.
My work is usually interesting and varied with multiple projects at once, but sometimes there are some less exciting things that just need to be done as with any job.
The downtime, sometimes there are periods where I don’t have any work and have to look for things to do.
