The role is great. I feel pretty supported and encouraged to get involved with the team's mahi. Each day is different, and I usually have a variety of tasks to work on.

About Aotearoa, for Aotearoa – data that improves lives today and for generations to come.
The people and the environment have made working at Stats NZ and getting settled in really easy. It has also calmed the nerves down in regards of starting a new job and being able to build relationships and connections with your colleagues. There is a sense of trust and friendliness where everyone is ready and more than happy to help you.
The people. There is no strong sense of hierarchy, and you can engage in conversation with people in more senior roles without being talked down to. The flexibility is also great!
The wellbeing of everyone is a priority and the allocated work for each employee is greatly divided between each. Flexibility of working helps with other life commitments
The people, the culture, and how everyone is very encouraging of Te Ao Māori
Friendly environment, culturally influenced
As an intern and someone who is just beginning their career it is hard to understand the lingo or acronyms that not only Stats NZ uses but other corporate or government agencies use as well.
The slow-pace.
I was one of very few graduates who started at the time I did. I can't recall any occasions for the graduates to meet/connect so I'd say that's the only downside (which could completely be an issue of timing). It would've been good to connect with people in similar situations as myself.
Workload can be cyclical, with busy and non-busy periods.
There are parts of the organisation that don't 'get' (or want to 'get') what we're doing despite support from senior and executive leadership.
