Pros and cons of working at Westpac Group AU
Pros
Diverse experiences
The opportunities for career advancement, high performance culture
Experience & exposure to different areas
Great opportunities for networking Flexible work hours Is customer focus and does live by its values
Very flexible working arrangements, good culture
Cons
level of administrative processes
The structure of the graduate program, requires a little more clarity.
A lot of technology work is outsourced.
Very few international opportunities. Time it takes to get things done, bureaucracy.
Guidance seems to depend more on the team you're in and the people around you than HR. The graduate program seems to be heavily dependent on the stream managers - with little involvement from the wider graduate HR group.
