Pros & Cons

  • Lots of resources to learn and skill up.
  • The culture and team environment.
  • The group of Graduates that I was hired along with, all from different pathways, but all very likeminded.
  • Work location flexibilities within Australia.
  • Lots of collaboration and cooperation between teams in different service lines and industries.
  • Tech issues and having them fixed, including firewalls and having access rejected to sites or programs.
  • Uncertainty in project assignment.
  • After training, there are times you are not sure what you will be doing in the long term, 6-12 months down the line
  • Progress for onboarding client project is longer than expected
  • Sometimes gets shuffled around projects you may not be extremely interested or experienced in (pro of this is that you learn a lot very quickly)
