Pros & Cons

  • The people are extremely welcoming and approachable, it makes asking questions very easy.
  • The culture and work environment. The people I work and interact with makes working at nbn incredibly enjoyable!
  • Working at this company has been an absolute joy, thanks in large part to the amazing environment that's been created here. As a graduate, I couldn't have asked for a more supportive and nurturing place to begin my career. From day one, I've been welcomed with open arms by my colleagues, who have shown an incredible amount of care and curiosity about my experiences and perspectives.
  • Very friendly and laid-back culture with flexible working arrangements.
  • Being able to complete rotations. I feel like this helped me gain a better understanding of the different teams within the business unit and which team suites me better. And the culture too.
  • Somewhat slow onboarding process. Takes some time to figure out the permissions required but can be rectified quickly.
  • The bureaucracy (is going to be a thing for all enterprises)
  • There are a lot of meeting that we have attend during our day to day, sometimes the meetings seem repetitive.
  • Many of my days are packed full of meetings, which can sometimes hinder my ability to achieve tasks and carry out my responsibilities.
  • Meeting culture is prevalent in my experience, but experience does vary between teams.

Culture
The culture here is amazing - everyone is friendly and there's a real emphasis on building connections between colleagues. As a graduate, I've had the chance to connect with senior leaders and there's no sense of hierarchy that gets in the way of these connections. The teamwork is impressive and everyone comes together to tackle challenges and support each other. It's a great place to work and to grow personally and professionally.

Different teams supply different workloads. The program provides opportunities to venture into 3 different teams for 6 months which is long enough to get stuck into a few projects but depending on the team the workload will change. Some teams that accept graduates deal with highly sensitive information and infrastructure which requires minimal 5-10+ years in the industry to work on. It is a great learning experience to see how different co-workers go about their work and you can learn from them, but there is only so much learning you can do before wanting to actually help and be a valuable member to the team. For example, the current rotation I am in I have my hands full with work. The work is sensitive but the team trust me and have guided me through the processes and ways of completing this work to allow me to complete tasks by myself. My second rotation team which I had limited skills to help out with, limited my tasks due to the sensitive infrastructure the team dealt with but let me sit in on watching them work and allowed me to learn. The tasks I was provided was more of an assurance/documentation aspect. I learned and gained a valuable experience but I wasn't challenged with tasks.
