Current manager and mentor are very supportive and accessible.
Graduate, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
All the managers have been very supportive especially my direct manager. They always make time to teach grads new things and to help us skill up. Many of them have had experience in the optus grad program/cadet program so are able to relate. Even more senior managers are willing to get involved with giving a lot of their time to help interns and grads.

The managers I have had are excellent. They are readily available and accessible when needed, however do occasionally reschedule recurring 1:1's if they have other, more pressing, demands. They also provide strong feedback and take an interest in my development. I feel & they have demonstrated that they defend & champion me as a graduate within the business and with our external stakeholders.

Sometimes it can be hard to get 1 on 1 time with my previous manager, however when I did get the chance to meet with him he was always encouraging me to pursue feedback and improve myself, however, even other managers around me frequently share their advice with me and are happy to teach me new skills.

Managers are all very accessible. Senior leaders within my business unit are very approachable and genuniely want you to succeed. I think sometimes the internal comms can be a bit rose tinted.It would be good if when things are going wrong or need improvement, that management/comms could be a bit more transparent.

Depends on your rotation and manager at the time, but overall yes, managers are accessible and help mentor you as well. They know you are grads and the grad cohort means they know this too. They help with your development, growth and performance. Sometimes these discussions happen more, sometimes less, but I have rarely found someone not willing to help

Highly dependant on team as with any other type of role

My experience with managers have been very good, with lots of communcation, mentorship and development help. Feedback and critical comments are always with good intentions whether positive or negative, and it has never been hard to go to for advice/help. Other experiences may vary.

My direct line manager is very approachable and helpful, however sometimes hard to get a hold of due to their busy schedules. My team manager, who I approach more is very helpful and is an amazing mentor and provides great support.

This is a personal highlight of mine, although it is not the case all over the business.

My manager and I meet up frequently to discuss everything from career opportunities to them helping me with complex situations I'm facing in my role. A lot of my feedback is face to face which is what I prefer as it allows it to be more of a discussion.
