    Graduate Engineer
    Aug 2025
    All Perth WALess than 1 year in the role, current employee
    Graduate Engineer program a waste of time, come for the money and leave when you get something else
    The good thingsPay is good for a graduate role and there is hybrid work.
    The challengesNo structured training program for graduates, you will be left fumbling around in the dark with no support or mentorship. They will blame the graduates instead for not knowing everything, lots of staff blaming here. Got scolded for 'not taking good enough photos' in an ENGINEERING POSITION, when I asked the manager for advice he was reluctant to help and just kept blaming me when I was just trying to learn. If you are a grad don't waste your time here!
