Positive aspects of working at the Australian Attorney-General's Department mentioned by reviewers include having a great team, interesting work, opportunities for career progression, and an adaptable environment willing to consider better alternatives and with a strong client focus.
However, potential challenges were also noted, such as working across time zones, the need for self-guided learning on new areas of law, a fast-paced environment during certain periods, concerns about management, a lack of flexibility regarding work location, a challenging workplace culture, potential issues with job responsibilities not matching the advertised job description for contractors, and a feeling that the IT staff was not adequately supporting the business.
