Pros and cons of working at Contact Energy
Pros
The culture is very authentic and welcoming, both in and outside of office hours.
Flexible working hours with emphasis on getting the job done rather than unproductive work.
The people are super friendly and supportive, flexible working arrangements, interesting work.
You're encouraged to block out a work hour of your week in your calendar and use that to focus on self-learning.
I have found myself as a graduate in meetings and bumping into our CEO, CFO and heads of different business areas a lot. Everyone has time for you, no matter the question.
Cons
Sometimes not enough work for entry level and sometimes work can be heavy at times.
Not super social workplaces, as most people based in major cities work from home.
Not very transparent with career development, salary bands per job etc.
My first couple of rotations were a bit unorganised, not much planned work.
There is a lack of transparency around career progression, especially regarding pay bands and what is needed to move from one level to the next.
