HR is not transparent with next steps and promotions, particularly for grads.
Graduate, Sydney - 09 Nov 2023
Haven't looked into it too much as I'm still a grad but there are usually quite a few internal job openings advertised. These are usually for more senior positions.
After the grad program, I know that you generally network with the teams you were in during your rotation and decide on a permanent role to go in to. After maybe a year you go from being a junior to just a mid level employee and this comes with a decent payrise. Not too sure on the leap up to senior or principle from there.

For those who know what they want and build good relationships within the business, the opportunities are excellent. The opportunities can change due to market conditions and restructuring, so fluidity is critical to success.

I have no idea
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
There seems to be a lot of opportunities available, and I hear about a lot of opportunities however I have had difficulty actually getting information about rotations and rolling on the grad program into full time work as a lot of the information is conflicting.
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
I think there are plenty of opportunities for promotion. I think all it takes is good solid work and a strong understanding of the business.

Grads are guaranteed a role at the end of the program. There are a number of ex grads within the organisation who are now sitting in director level roles. This is very encouraging and demonstrates there are internal pathways that exist within the organisation

I feel getting a broad range of experiences through the rotations and being able to connect and network with these different team members helps significantly with your ability to know people and find the right roles and opportunities for you. As a grad you have a good reputation and it can help you progress quicker from what I have seen.

The company sets out quite a direct career path.
The company has quite a robust performance management system that is uniform, and easily understood by the whole group. This is taken into account when opportunities arise for promotion. The company is also clear on what they expect in regards to aligning and demonstrating our key behaviours.
Rolling off the program, grads are offered roles in alignment with their interest, and our company currently has senior directors who used to be graduates.

There are some caps for movements (can't move up too many levels at once), some graduates really move up the ranks quickly (from graduate to director level in less than 10 years)
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
It seems like it's not too bad to progress from a Junior to experienced engineer within a Networks, IT or Software role, but progressing further than this seems hard as from my experience there are a vast majority of people in Networks that plateau at a 'Senior' Engineer level with limited salary and role improvement opportunities, but it is hard to know at this point

Although the grad program description promises permanent roles after the program, the lack of documentation and communication has made it difficult for me to imagine what promotion after the program is like
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
Promotion opportunities are limited at the moment with a tight budget and limited vacant roles. To move up the ranks you must wait for someone to leave or move roles so that a position becomes vacant. It is rare that new roles are created.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
Experience and enthusiasm, networking and going above and beyond to be recognised in your role.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
I don't have the full run down on career progression as I am still newish to the job and the program is 2 years
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
After the grad program we are essentially promised a permanent role, and that usually means becoming an Executive. However I've heard that progression/promotion past this is pretty time-consuming - 3+ years to become manager.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
We've had the chance to speak to many previous graduates that have been in our position once and have now gone onto director roles etc. within the company over a number of years.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
I would prefer if there was more clarity around what the rules/ expectations are about how and when you can roll off the program. As many people have done it in different ways, but more people recount it being a lengthy process that was not a smooth
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
Doesn't seem like many opportunities to move up. Company prefers to hire externally seems to be the general consensus, but I would assume that is the case in most places.
That said, I haven't experienced this first hand so not really in a position to comment yet.
