Pros & Cons

  • Great team and great work. I have a lot of support from my team and everyone is more than happy to help. The work is fulfilling, enjoyable and always exciting.
  • Working in the Engineering Department everyone is super knowledgeable and experienced. Everyone is more than happy to share their knowledge and experience with me, helping me to become a better engineer.
  • Great atmosphere. Manageable workload. Flexible hours.
  • I am working on exciting projects and I feel I am having an impact on the work I am doing.
  • The senior engineers I work with are always willing to teach and give advice. I have been lucky enough to work on very interesting subsystems.
  • Lack of official registered training.
  • Although everyone is willing to share knowledge and experience, as a Graduate there is no formal programs or development goals for me to chase in order to help grow my capability.
  • Requires a 4-month wait for NV-1 security clearance to get into the meat and potatoes of my role.
  • The lack of official registered training and engineering tools - advanced FEA software, calculation tools such as Python/Matlab.
