Pros and cons of working at GHD AU
Pros
GHD provide a workplace that I feel comfortable in. It enables me to be myself and produce my best work.
Range of opportunities, training and development, social aspect, people.
Amazing company culture and encouragement to push yourself.
Great people, interesting work.
The great people, it is a fun place to work. Lots of variety in the work that you do, working for a big company you are able to be challenged and take on bigger projects.
Cons
"Reasonable overtime" is up to 45 hours per week. Not exclusive to GHD, its common in all consultancy environments. Can be a high-stress job
Lots of people, easy to become just a number.
The work is utilisation based - slow periods can be concerning, as you are meant to be hitting utilisation targets
The long working hours when multiple proposals are due on the same day.
My team currently has structural issues re skill levels so that there are very few mid career people to dedicate enough time in developing graduates as the senior/principal engineers are often to busy/expensive to do so.
