Management at Nova Systems

8.3 rating for Management, based on 32 reviews
How accessible are managers and do they make good mentors? You may want to address internal communication, performance feedback or praise and recognition.
Managers are very accessible. The rapidly growing nature of the company imparts an amount of disconnect between management levels and there is often a slow response to having matters delt with (such as approvals through the hierarchy chain).

My current manager is very accessible and takes pride in being a good mentor to all sta_ in the team. I trust my current manager with confidence and they are diligent in relaying communication between senior management and junior sta_. I am lucky in that respect, as many managers in the company are not so diligent, usually because 100% of their time is occupied by client work. I also think that very few managers take advantage of Nova's sta_ recognition processes. You see sta_ receive awards and prizes often come from the same manager who is diligent enough to nominate their sta_. Other managers are either too lazy or don't care about giving sta_ recognition through these processes.

Most of my managers are good. There are a couple who are exceptional. However, I know some people have not had the best experience with their managers, and have felt that they do not care about the grads.

My managers are awesome, super approachable, and have been great mentors.

Nothing negative to say. I know there's usually a lot on people's plates and they go out of their way to make sure individuals are getting the personal support they need. They're very accessible, just sometimes quite busy to respond instantly.

All my managers are extremely accessible and happy to talk when first available. So far I have found them all to be good mentors who do their best to help with any problem and develop understanding of di_erent facets of the job. Recognition and feedback is given freely with an aim towards improvement instead of criticism, if goals aren't achieved then it's a discussion on what can be done to improve so they are achieved and exceeded in the future including what training or help might be required.

Graduate, Melbourne
I feel I can reach out to any of my managers and request feedback on my performance. For work where I have performed exceptional on, that was recognised and praised by my managers
Graduate, Melbourne
Managers are very accessible and make great mentors. Many are very easy to chat to and very helpful when asked for advice. As all of my managers are in Melbourne, like me, it is very easy to go to the office to speak with them. Performance feedback has been detailed and fair, with helpful debriefs from my line manager afterwards.
Graduate, Melbourne
Great open communication and always happy to both reach out and listen
Graduate, Adelaide
Not all managers make good mentors. Many do not have the time to complete all managerial tasks as they are also full time on project/client work which is to the detriment of teams and support
Graduate, Melbourne
Managers are accessible depending on the projects and the are you work in. Internal communication is good. Performance feedback is good, however harder when working on a client project and you are independent to the organisation.
Graduate, Canberra
My line manager is also my project lead engineer. He is by far one of the most inspiring engineers and people like him make working in this company an absolute pleasure. He is very passionate and is always ready to help you out regardless of how busy he is. He prioritised our learning and its very evident in the way he manages the team and us graduates. He is the only manager I am in contact with daily so he is the only one I have an opinion on.
