Management at Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)

Team lead & Manager - very satisfied, they are accessible, approachable and can help in a mentoring capacity. Group Manager & Exec - very limited interaction

The large majority of my managers have been great mentors and have given me lots of responsibilities and opportunities to expand my skills.

Like anywhere this will depend on the person. There is a large pool of really great managers at AEMO, and I've had great experience with most of them. Some have been really great mentors to me, and across the board they've all had my health and interests as their primary interest. Higher up the chain where there is more responsibility to a wider group of stakeholders, there may be more criticism of management.

Direct manager - very happy. Managers make time and put in effort into relationships with graduates. They are instrumental in graduate development.

Your experience will vary depending on the manager but in my experience managers make time for you and offer good feedback and are very cognizant of recognition.

Very dependent on the department and your manager.

I believe it is very dependent on your team and role within the organisation. My team and managers have all been very good experiences.

Most managers are very accessible, and are open to communication. We have an open-floor policy so it is easy to approach them during working hours.

Praise comes in many forms in the company. Some examples include, in our formal goal setting without managers, above and beyond awards across the whole company, shoutouts in department meetings and informal oral and written feedback.
