Graduate Experience
Pros: - Can have decent exposure to other companies.
- Good "foot-in-the-door" to industry.
- Great environment for management.
Cons: - The roles or 'rotations' you experience as a grad are largely based on the company's best interests with complete disregard to your own aspirations.
- Very mind-numbing work the majority of the time.
- Very slow to progress up the chain (Don't expect to be promoted for another year or two on top of the 2 year program)
- The company is drowning in processes and old-fashioned hierarchy that it's missing a lot of opportunities and neglects young talent.
- Don't bother asking for post-grad study support, you will have to give an arm and a leg for one day's study leave.
- Workload fluctuates. When you're on a project, expect to be flogged like a dog.
- Not willing to spend the time or effort training you in anything.
