What Graduates Say About Them
  • Structured graduate program and frequent graduate events Supportive and friendly team/staff Very good workplace flexibility Lots of benefits Very interesting and unique work Graduate cohort are very kind and inclusive.
  • The work culture is really healthy and welcoming where they encourage self-growth and learning and are willing to accommodate minor work changes with flexible working arrangements.
  • Roles of high responsibility & willingness of employees to pass on experience.
  • Inclusivity of all and non-bias towards who you are, where you come from, what you're doing, where you want to be. Development opportunities are plentiful and all are encouraged to pursue whatever they choose in their future career. Everyone has been and continues to be welcoming and supportive in so many ways.
  • Viva has an amazing culture, it is the people that make this job so rewarding.
  • Diversity of the company means half of my team is on the other side of the country (which isn't a minus or a plus, more of an in between).
  • This is not necessarily the worst thing. A small pain point is working through the ambiguity of transitioning following two acquisitions. However, this is temporary and will better the organisation moving forward.
  • Given the practical nature of the refinery, initially there is limited availability for working from home. Personally I choose to work in the office to maximise learning and relationship building, however, there is definitely flexibility for WFH 1 day per week in the short term process engineer role that many graduates go into early in their career. In other roles there is availability for more days WFH.
  • High pressure work can sometimes be stressful
  • It can sometimes be busy with increases in workload, but the team is always really supportive and are happy to help where they can.

As a retail engineer, I design Shell branded service stations when we need to do major works. I enjoy the flexibility of working from home most of the time, while also being able to get out to site and see the service stations we design and build.
