Pros and cons of working at John Holland
Pros
Great company culture, looking after employees
Diversity of work and great colleagues.
The wide range of experience / different activities I have received on the one project.
A lot of experience, knowledge to be gained. Learning on the job Great graduate program with dedicated courses, learning modules and networking events.
Salary package is very attractive.
Working on Projects in different States. Being able to work across multiple engineering disciplines.
Cons
Long working hours and lack of knowledge sharing.
The failure to be rotated through the graduate program to experience different projects. The lack of acknowledgement from John Holland for the hours and time committed to the job.
The lack of focus on emerging technologies
Some graduates were not allowed to rotate as often as stated in their graduate program brochure (6 months per rotation) Quality of teams differs from project to project
Working for a rail business means there is a need for night shifts, weekend shifts and long periods of long shifts. It is not all the time, but it is also not a rare occurrence.
Could be pigeon-holed or just become a number.
