Pros and cons of working at Holcim

Pros

  • Accessibility across levels, support, opportunity.

  • Definitely the people and how supportive they are of your education and training. The opportunities presented at a Graduate level are absolutely incredible and diverse - from working with senior management to the machine operators.

  • Good opportunities for development and learning through the graduate program.

  • The people here are amazing and the wealth of knowledge available means you can always ask questions and receive the support that you need.

  • The career growth opportunities, training by industry leaders, gives you responsibility early on, great people and a fun working environment.

Cons

    • Some rotations have very early hours.

    • Communication at times isn't what it needs to be.

    • No transparency, last-minute decisions.

    • The level of instability within the company personnel

    • Can be long hours depending on the role. In my current role I have some long days but it's balanced by short days and working from home.
