Pros & Cons

  • How friendly and supportive everyone is!
  • They are very thorough with their training.
  • Very inclusive and friendly workforce, especially in the context of longer working hours working on-site, which allow for strong working relationships to be formed with many of my colleagues.
  • The people. Most people are very welcoming and are willing to go out of their way to help with my development as a graduate.
  • Inland Rail puts a lot of time and effort into developing your skills as a graduate.
  • Good team (approachable, happy to teach, guide and share information), interesting multidisciplinary project.
  • Role clarity, keeping grads busy with meaningful work.
  • I can sometimes feel a bit in the dark with information. Starting the grad program felt like I was going in a bit blind, with HR unable to articulate what my role and living conditions would actually be, and there is still no word as to what and where my next role in 2 months will be.
  • Working from home at the moment is not ideal for a graduate.
  • The very large scope can be a bit daunting, lack of established work/responsibilities for graduates.
