What Graduates Say About Them
  • Work culture is great. People are always friendly and approachable, willing and eager to help.
  • Flexible working arrangements between office, working from home and working on sites. Get to work at a variety of different locations in Australia.
  • There are many opportunities for career development.
  • The purpose of 'ecological transformation' aligns with my personal values. The people are friendly and the culture is quite relaxed. Good work life balance. Lots of opportunity to move around the business.
  • Sense of community and teamwork: Veolia has a supportive work environment where people are happy to help you out Flexibility and work-life balance: Flexible work hours and being able to work from home
  • Sometimes I think the amount of work they are able to give to a graduate level employee is a bit limited - sometimes means a bit of downtime. Not a terrible thing, but more learning opportunities would be good.
  • HR can be rather slow sometimes.
  • Operates within a male-dominated industry. Can be difficult to get in contact with the right person or create change as the company is very large.
  • On-site project work can be long and challenging.
  • You can often feel a number in the masses in large companies so it's hard to stand out in good ways and it can therefore get overwhelming.

The versatility of having days where I am working at a water treatment site that supplies the water we drink and knowing I am indirectly impacting the way we live versus sitting in an office and tapping into my problem-solving skills to find a solution.
