What Graduates Say About Them
  • Working with awesome people who are always willing to help each other out. Lots of development opportunities for graduates
  • Great work environment, helpful colleagues
  • Industry leader in the chemical industry. Very varied work, no two days are the same.
  • The people who work here. They are all very friendly and welcoming. Always open to answering your questions.
  • In under 6 months I have been involved in many different aspects of chemical manufacturing. This has been a steep learning curve but a great way to fast track the start of my career. I'm really looking forward to future rotations within the company as well to broaden my knowledge.
  • Opportunity to be involved in high level projects and communicate with employees of all levels.
  • Trans tasman teams can make communicating difficult and unclear processes or responsibilities for some people.
  • Too many meetings for managers which makes it hard to discuss with them about jobs and projects.
  • Barely any pay rise given to graduates. Graduates should be getting the biggest pay rises with each year of experience, as we start off with such low salaries.
  • A well-established company means that bad habits have been well-formed and people are hesitant to change despite them seeing the obvious positives of change.
