Pros and cons of working at GHD New Zealand
Pros
The support from my team and my higher-ups makes me confident in getting things wrong but then trying again with support and doing better
I think people are really understanding of Graduates having virtually no corporate experience. They are happy to answer questions and give you time to learn.
There are ample opportunities to develop a range of technical skills and workplace development skills. The people are incredible to work with who embody the principles of kotahitanga (unity), awhinatanga (kindness) and manaakitanga (support). Flexible work hours and working locations to accommodate my needs as a single mother who is also studying. You can be yourself and express/share the things you are passionate about and value.
The coworkers are lovely to be around and interact with, I feel appreciated and urged to learn new things which is good. The office location supports cycling and is close to town which is a bonus.
Supportive team, understanding and relaxed environment. Going home within reasonable hours. Opportunities to work in and visit other offices.
Cons
Studying a creative degree to then head to a creative role in a corporate environment as a newbie, it's not really what you expect. Training is sufficient here, however exploring and developing your creativity here is a bit stunted. You will need to go outside to fulfil your creative needs
Lack of development in cultural capability but they are working on it which is encouraging.
Too many project opportunities so couldn't figured out which one to prioritise
Larger company means you don't know everyone or everything that's going on, and can get lost in the crowd a bit
The work can be not very engaging at times
