Office & Workplace at Optus

8.0 rating for Workplace, based on 52 reviews
Please comment on your company's office space, location and facilities. And while we're at it, please tell us a little about the dress code.
The office space resembles an enclosed university campus with everything you need on it, there are 4 cafes to choose from, restaurants, a convenience store, a doctor and an employee free shuttle to the shopping centre for any other necessities we may require. The location in Macquarie Park is a little inconvenient but is gorgeous - the family of ducks really sells it. Dress code is business casual - depending on which business unit you belong in that can range from jeans and a hoodie, to suit and tie.

Location is amazing, office layout is great too. Located in Macquarie Park, there are buses to Macquarie University metro and Wynyard station in the city. There is a gym with showers and useful amenities. There are 4 cafes available to get coffee or lunch from and a number of stalls where you can get something more substantial from if you're really hungry. Dress code is smart casual but most important thing is to be comfortable.

The space is excellent, everything you could ever need is on site and very easy to access. There are also some spaces for recreation which is great for bonding with the team. The dress code isn't strict but everyone still dresses appropriately.

Location - poor Facilities - great, there are many places to work outside from. The facilities are well kept. If you're lucky, you might end up in a team with set tables for workers. I'm unfortunately in a hot desking sitation

Space and facilities are amazing. I have access to everything I need to comfortably do my work. Location is very inconvenient and difficult to get to with public transport. Dress code varies with business unit and teams - I've seen casual through to formal on a daily basis. Most people wear smart casual.

Office space: Okay Location: Good Facilities: Some desks don't have the right monitors and cables (which can cause issues for teams who are trying to implement hot-desking). Quite a few meeting rooms don't have the right monitors or cables, which makes it hard for the team to utilise the monitors. Dress code: relatively casual (business casual like)

There are various spaces at Optus including inside and outside areas, there are lots of collaborative spaces as well as quiet rooms. There is the option to be in a closed environment or out in the open. The recharge benches outside allow you to connect with others in the fresh air whilst charging your devices.

The offices at Belrose are fairly dated and could really use a bit of an update with regards to design and aesthetic. The commute to Belrose is also extremely long for me, with it taking around 2 hours of my time to get to work by public transport. Also the facilities are severely lacking in comparison to OCS, with the nearest food and coffee places requiring a car to get to within a reasonable time. At OCS, the workstations on the lower floors are definitely inferior to the workstations on the upper floors, with regards to monitors and desks. The dress code throughout Optus is consistent with a professional workplace, with employees allowed to wear whatever they want, with the caveat that it is within reason.

The office space is very nice in Macquarie Park, however it does vary between buildings. Some of the buildings ive worked in have been dated, dark, dusty and at times have had mould problems. The technology is very inconsistent across the campus. The dress code is business casual.

Each building in Sydney is different, there is an ongoing process of renewal as well as new facilities being constructed soon. A great abundance of places to purchase coffee/lunch. However, if you are on a budget the kitchens/kitchenettes could offer better value. Parking is abundant and provides flexibility however can be expensive for an office located in the suburbs, however public transportation is abundant.

Many teams have issues with the hot desking model that some departments have set up. It makes it hard to come into the office and be productive, especially when tech is constantly not working, many desks get left empty for months on end because it is nobody's responsibility to get tech fixed. It would be much better if employees were given permanent desks so they are allowed to have their own space setup in the office

we have a campus

Office location isn't in the city which is a bummer as it is isolated from everything else and is a walk away from the nearest shopping/food area. The facilities are good, office space and toilets. However, there is nothing else that is an incentive for us to come into the office despite the heavy encouragement on coming in 3 days a week - compared to other companies that provide on-site events, snacks, catering, etc.

The office is a large campus with a foodcourt, sports fields, games such as table tennis and pool, a mailroom, auditorium and plenty of outdoor space to relax at lunchtime. Dress code is quite casual.

5 Buildings around a large outdoor and sunny courtyard. The Buildings are bright and open plan, with only 5 stories each so everywhere is accessible. Multiple food options,

Optus have a great office space at Macquarie Park. This is convenient for me. It can be a challenge to order the right equipment from IT but once received, the team are really helpful in getting you set-up. The grounds are great, with a mix of tables, cafes, work stations and grass areas, depending on how you want to spend your day. Our dress code is 'Business Casual', however, each BU dresses slightly differently depending on their day and cliental. I like that it is flexible across the week and I can dress-up without looking out of place.

It's a large open-air campus in Macquarie Park. It's quite nice to be in, but a but inconvenient to travel to (and will continue to be until the Metro expands in 2024). The facilities are nice and quite up-to-date. Lots of cafes and meeting points on campus - coffee chats are a common way of networking around the business. The dress code is sort of choose-your-own-adventure - I've seen everything from full suits to Birkenstocks. I think it's mostly a function of what area you work in, though.

The campus has a range of outdoor areas which allow for outside coffee dates, lunches and work. It is a modern work environment, encouraging flexibility and movement in your choice of workspace. It is centrally located to public transport and easy to drive to. The dress code is business casual- as long as you are covered and look presentable, it is encouraged to add your own personal flair to your wardrobe.

Great office and facilities. Dress code is business attire. I can collect stationery and request for IT support when needed. I recently requested a more supportive office chair and I received it really quickly.
