Culture at Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts

It really depends on the team. For the most part, I have found supervisors to be supportive and constructive, and colleagues to be interesting and easy to talk to.

Managers are very approachable. Social club does some good work getting people together including happy hours, trivia nights, and fundraisers

The department has a good working culture and is inclusive. The department's social club, run by the graduates, encourages socialising afterhours through happy hours, trivia nights and other informal activities.

Office: very positive - co-workers are welcoming and interested in helping you make the most of your time at the Department. Strong sense of purpose and engagement with the work. A bit hierarchical, but even senior staff are generally welcoming and happy to answer questions or invite your input. After hours: Happy Hours and other social events are available, but aren't necessary to make friends.

A little hierarchical - but depends on where you are teamwork - depends on where you are but my area is trying to silo work but there's been discussion that work is becoming more horizontal socialising - it's ok, depends on your team mates/ how involved you want to be as there's definitely opportunities.

Flat hierarchies are common, especially in fast-paced teams (which themselves are plentiful). Not all areas fully subscribe to the general cultural norms, generally with a negative effect when they do. Cooperation is commonplace, and teamwork, when used, is efficient and effective. Socialising, for obvious reasons, has generally been down across the past year, but most people have lamented its disappearance - suggesting that normally it is commonplace and welcomed. In the past month or two, I have started to see structured and unstructured socialisation return around the workplace.

Very good in-work culture, welcoming and supportive. Social, after hours side of things is very dependent on the team and could be improved.

Pretty Flat hierarchy, easy to converse with management and colleagues cooperate well.

Generally it is really good. Teams cooperate and work well together, are social, management is friendly and approachable.

Fairly good culture, lots of missed opportunities for 2020 because of Covid-19.

Workplace culture is very relaxed, go at you own pace kind of work. The higher-ups and supervisors are very approachable.
