What Graduates Say About Them
  • The people. I love that I am given the opportunity to independently contribute to large scale projects and am supported to explore different avenues and provide meaningful input without being micromanaged.
  • Even though I'm still an intern, the team respect my ideas and work as much as everyone else which has made me feel really welcome and comfortable to learn.
  • The people culture is exceptional at IGO. Everyone is friendly and happy to help, it is rare to find someone who is unhappy at work. People are accepting and inclusive, even if you are an intern who is only there for 3 months. Also, no one thinks you are too far down the ladder to have a chat which is extremely refreshing.
  • Culture. Good social environment and issues raised are taken seriously and acted on quickly.
  • The wide range of experiences you are able to have in a short amount of time.
  • I cannot think of one bad thing about this company.
  • Honestly nothing I came across or can think of.
  • The food
  • Nothing that I can think of.
  • It gets hot out in the field!
