Pros and cons of working at Worley
Pros
Everyone in the business is always keen and open to teaching new employees. Gender equality was one of the important aspects that caught my eye with the company when I started off as an undergrad. There was a 50/50 ratio of male and females selected for the undergraduate program. Gender equality is a value I advocate for and I am glad to be working for a company that aligns with my values.
The cultural, the support of the team and range of projects.
Rotation Opportunity, greater exposure into different industry
The opportunities and support from senior leaders in the business who are invested in developing their young professionals
Amazing work culture, with senior leaders who are willing to invest in the growth of the younger generation
Cons
Things can happen slowly in regard to winning/commencing work.
Due to the rapid growth and constant evolution of the company, systems (usually IT) never feel aligned and are always disjointed. The entry level graduate salary leaves much to be desired.
Not a tight-knit social culture
Currently not enough significant rotation opportunities for rural / FIFO work.
Budget restraints which could potentially speedup the duration of the project. This sometimes forces the learning process to be quicker.
