Pros and cons of working at GHD AU

Pros

  • GHD provide a workplace that I feel comfortable in. It enables me to be myself and produce my best work.

  • Range of opportunities, training and development, social aspect, people.

  • Amazing company culture and encouragement to push yourself.

  • Great people, interesting work.

  • The great people, it is a fun place to work. Lots of variety in the work that you do, working for a big company you are able to be challenged and take on bigger projects.

Cons

    • "Reasonable overtime" is up to 45 hours per week. Not exclusive to GHD, its common in all consultancy environments. Can be a high-stress job

    • Lots of people, easy to become just a number.

    • The work is utilisation based - slow periods can be concerning, as you are meant to be hitting utilisation targets

    • The long working hours when multiple proposals are due on the same day.

    • My team currently has structural issues re skill levels so that there are very few mid career people to dedicate enough time in developing graduates as the senior/principal engineers are often to busy/expensive to do so.
