Pros and cons of working at Nova Systems AU

Pros

  • They really care about their people. They make sure you are taken care of and really do value you as a person

  • Everyone takes the time to make sure you are happy with what you're working on. Senior engineers are always happy to help with any questions. There are lots of perks (Personal development budget, professional development budget, etc.)

  • Transparency in organisational operations from the executive level down, wide range of projects to work on, great Personal and Professional Development package and policy.

  • Flexibility with office hours, supportive of those who are still studying/finishing up uni, great working environment and friendly co-workers

  • Welcoming and unique workplace culture, meaningful work and generous professional development and training opportunities

  • The people are friendly and fun to work with. While the regular transition between different tasks and clients keeps things interesting and allows development in different areas and skills.

Cons

    • The small size can often mean that there's not much opportunity to get involved in disciplines other than Systems Engineering

    • At times communications can break down. Possibility of getting pigeonholed in one type of role.

    • Due to the consulting nature of the work, there are weeks when the work is slow and weeks where there is so much work to do! I am sure this is a struggle in any organisation. At times I have found it a challenge to manage different work fronts and changing priorities as is the nature of my department.

    • The commute

    • Number of working hours can be a lot, hard to balance work-life sometimes

    • At the beginning of my application, I had some issues surrounding start dates and what was going on. Which was a headache, but managed around it.
