What Graduates Say About Them
  • Going on rotations with different teams.
  • Flexible work arrangements - I can start and finish whenever I like, the rule is very 'as long as you get the work done' based. There are team 'work from home' days, usually 2 a week but could be more if it suits what you're doing. Culture: Everyone is super friendly. The direct manager is very supportive, the transition to a corporate job after UNI has been a breeze because of him.
  • The culture is excellent.
  • I think the culture at RAA, but particularly within the data teams, is amazing. Everyone is so incredibly helpful and friendly, and you feel so supported by the whole team. They are very understanding of the fact that you are a graduate, and they give you a chance to develop your skills and learn from other people in the team. RAA mostly expects people to work in the office at least a couple of days a week; however, unlike at other companies, this is organised so that each team has a day where everyone comes in. This means that you aren't sitting in the office just to work the same way you would at home, and any team meetings or lunches are organised on that day. It really helps you to feel more connected to your coworkers.
  • The people I work with are supportive and encouraging, and I've learned a lot from them.
  • Lack of interaction from senior managers
  • If I were nitpicking, the pay, though it is standard for a graduate role but doesn't help in the current economy. Also, finding parking at the Mile End site is bit inconvenient if you're a late starter.
  • Changing leadership brings some uncertainty.
  • Because RAA is a smaller, South Australian-based company, there are only a few people in leadership positions across the data teams. This means it can be difficult to become a manager in your team if this is something that you want to do.
  • The disparity in work culture between departments
