Pros & Cons

  • My supervisors are extremely interested in my career development and make sure to give me all the opportunities I need to reach my potential.
  • The company is flexible in working arrangements, meaning that I can work from home where required or fit hours around other commitments.
  • GradX has offered me many opportunities in training including Essential Leadership training and Principles of Systems Engineering training.
  • Opinions are appreciated and you feel extremely supported by senior members of your team, who are genuinely invested in your development and growth.
  • Colleagues in my current workspace are fantastic to work alongside. They are supportive of my own personal development.
  • There isn't enough technical engineering work. Majority of the work is admin, configuration management work and integration work.
  • The large variations in my workload... Sometimes I am very quiet, and other times I have heaps to do.
  • Salary is not competitive, and salary negotiations are fairly difficult to succeed with.
  • The large variations in my workload. Sometimes I am very quiet, with not much work to do, and other times I have heaps to do. I'd prefer if it was more consistent, but I understand it's the nature of the industry.
  • Promotion opportunities are quite rigid... you must meet certain requirements to move up, and it can be difficult to obtain the necessary experience.

Recruitment

Recruitment
The GradX application process is very thorough.... . It starts with a questionnaire and an aptitude test, and if you perform well and have a strong resume you get shortlisted into a group of ~30 others. The company then flies everyone to a major city such as Sydney, and conducts interviews and group tasks etc. to further assess the applicants, and introduce them to the company. A few weeks later you will be notified if your application was successful.
