What Graduates Say About Them
  • Fantastic work culture, having compared notes with others from my graduating class there doesn’t seem to be many places that are this welcoming and open.
  • The flexible hours of my work day, allowing me to start and finish when I need to.
  • People are very supportive. My co-workers or managers are always willing to answer my questions if I get stuck on tasks.
  • Lot of opportunities to grow your career, good work-life balance, helpful teammates.
  • There is a great degree of diversity in backgrounds and profession - there is a lot of room to learn.
  • Challenging to navigate a global and large organisation at times.
  • Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed as there is such a large product portfolio and no singular hub for information and resources.
  • Some work is very aligned with background/passions and some is what you have to do to get the work done.
  • SE is so big that it can be difficult to navigate or find the right person for help. Change can also take a while.
  • The office location is too far and sometimes travelling to regional sites.
