  • There is well defined career progression after the graduate program. The company also offers a lot training and onboarding. As I am still at university in my final year, the company has provided me with flexible work options. I can pick my days and working hours.
  • All coworkers are extremely friendly, they are always welcoming and offer to help when it is needed. There are lots of future pathways offered to you when you begin.
  • The best thing about MCS is the new tech you get to utilise and play with in everyday activities. The management is great and everyone is very supportive!

  • Too much to learn. There are things that you will learn that are not covered in your uni curriculum.

They work closely with United Way to provide resources and support to disadvantaged children. It's a really nice charity and they provide plenty of opportunities to get involved. Later this month I'll be helping run practice job interviews at a high school involved in the program.

I can reach out to my managers at any time. They can be your mate, but also won't let that get in the way of what needs to be done. I always receive feedback and recognition, they are excellent mentors for any graduate.

Office Work Environment
Dress code is business casual, depending on the role it can be more casual. There are 3 offices in Sydney right now and they are all great. IC2 in Macquarie park is the newest and most advanced but all the offices have great amenities.

Recruitment
3 interviews out of which first one is technical. Basically asking about what you have learnt at university. There is a personality test as well but the whole process was done in a couple of weeks. I would say brush up on your technical knowledge, especially in the area of networking. Other than that, ensure you know the company values and just be yourself.
