What are your thoughts on pay and bonuses at your company?
Its above average, but being on a 2 year program, it feels like salary progression is slow.

I think the grad pay is quite generous especially considering the interview process was not cracked like some of the companies out there. The base for 2023 grads is 80k with a 10-20% bonus depending on your performance.
Graduate, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
They pay is competitive within the market, and bonuses are awarded on a business unit by business unit basis. However, payroll is slow to adjust and correct errors, and newer / more junior graduates get paid higher than more senior graduates. When superannuation contributions rise the business takes on those costs rather than reduce employee pay.

For a grad program I think that we are paid very well.
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
I think it is very good
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
Paid well considering we are entry level and they are training us. And we are eligible for bonus
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
Pay is quite good for new grads.
Graduate, Sydney - 03 Nov 2023
They pay is good, I believe it is more than most graduate positions. I believe the bonus is quite good too and is heavily based on performance.
Graduate, Sydney - 01 Nov 2023
Definitely higher than your average graduate (compared 6 offers that I received last year)
Graduate, Sydney - 01 Nov 2023
I think they are fairly consistent with the market.
Graduate, Sydney - 01 Nov 2023
Overall, pay is good for a grad role, that is. However, I would like to see this increase a bit significantly once rolling off the grad program.
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
We have quite a competitive salary, and higher than industry average. Our bonus system is linked to not only the performance of the organisation but individual performance as well which is a transparent and fair process.
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
Bonuses have been good so far. Pay is unequal between tech and corporate graduates seemingly arbitrarily (some tech grads are in roles that don't require technical abilities and some corporate grads are in roles where technical ability may be required) Corporate graduates are paid the minimum for the level and technical graduates were not
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
Pay and bonuses are quite good thus far. I have been increased in salary as a graduate quite significantly since starting, I believe due to the job supply issue of 2022, and the demand for graduates and roles increasing quite a lot
Graduate, Sydney - 31 Oct 2023
I think for a graduate salary, this is quite good. Bonuses are also fair, given our position and time at the company.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
Pay is pretty decent in comparison with the market for my level of experience and there is a yearly bonus which is appreciated.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
It is pretty good and clear how to achieve bonuses
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
The bonus process is not transparent or clear, our people and culture team could not even explain the callabration process to me and my manager did not agree with my bonus but he could not change what was calculated in the system.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
I'm very happy with my pay in terms of comparing it to market averages for grad programs.
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
I think the pay is great for a graduate position. The bonus structure seems fair too, I don't think I've been here long enough to have much personal experience with it.

Best perk is easily the 25% off all Optus products and $80/month credit to spend on any Optus service. I get home internet completely for free because of this. Weirdest perk is probably 10% off the harbour bridge climb :)
