Pros and cons of working at Hydro Tasmania
Pros
Interesting work, the company values helping the community, work/life balance, remuneration
Great mix of on-site and off-site work. I am the sort of person that enjoys getting their hands dirty and working with the site crews. Big cool assets from a large variety of manufacturers, so there's always something unusual to solve.
Encouragement and support for graduates working on major projects with other staff. Large focus on development opportunities with a training budget for grads each FY.
Cons
Hydro Tasmania has a very steep learning curve in regard to its systems and processes which can take a new starter a while to get their head around.
It’s a big, old business with a lot of legacy issues and it’s sometimes overwhelming. It’s hard to see and implement improvement because there is a lot of people who have been around for a long time.
The company doesn't have a strong knowledge base for reference, forum to whats happening in the whole organisation level, and a lack of documentation/content.
