Cons

    • level of administrative processes

    • The structure of the graduate program, requires a little more clarity.

    • A lot of technology work is outsourced.

    • Very few international opportunities. Time it takes to get things done, bureaucracy.

    • Guidance seems to depend more on the team you're in and the people around you than HR. The graduate program seems to be heavily dependent on the stream managers - with little involvement from the wider graduate HR group.
