Pros and cons of working at ACCIONA Australia and New Zealand
Pros
Lots of learning and professional development opportunities.
The managers are really helpful with anything and everything... I’ve always felt that they look out for you as you’re a grad.
I love that Acciona genuinely holds sustainability so close to its core.
There is work flexibility and a friendly and positive work culture.
Supportive team, the company cares about the growth and learning of graduates.
Cons
The nature of the construction industry means that it is hard to achieve a work/life balance.
Work Loads. Long work Hours.
It's not the most social office environment.
The commute, inability to WFH more and my inability to get out to projects.
The graduate program feels like a complete waste of time and only takes away from me being able to complete my actual work.
