As a graduate there is an emphasis on learning rather than deliverables. I mainly assist the Cloud team with BAU activities and other projects.

As a graduate, I spend a lot of my time shadowing or working together with my buddy on tasks and meetings. I usually have some tasks to complete independently in the background. Workload never feels too overwhelming, and clear communication with my manager helps me strike a good balance.

  • Working at this company has been an absolute joy, thanks in large part to the amazing environment that's been created here.

    • The bureaucracy (is going to be a thing for all enterprises)

    • There are a lot of meeting that we have attend during our day to day, sometimes the meetings seem repetitive.
