Culture in general here is really chilled, it's very relaxed. Not to say you don't work
hard, you obviously do and as a graduate, you almost have that self expectation that
you want to put in more hours and do the job. But there's also a bunch of time to relax
and meet new people - to develop your 'soft' skills so to speak. So networking is really
important here, because the more people you meet, the better opportunities you eventually
develop for yourself.
We also have a grad culture as well. It's a very social culture, we meet once a week
for lunches, we also interact with the grads in the year above us and we do social things
outside of work as well. So it's been awesome, you know, we've developed really great bonds
and friendships amongst the graduate group.
When you're coming out of uni you feel like a, you know, small fish in a massive ocean
and I think working as part of a graduate group makes you feel a lot more supported
- it's a bit less scary I think heading into the corporate environment if you've got that
support network around you.
Being part of an actual grad group is probably my favourite aspect of being in the graduate
program at Post. Most of us in my grad group will constantly be, you know, going out for
coffee. So even seeing each other on the weekend or what not, you really develop a nice friendship,
a nice bond with them.
One of the best things I would say about the graduate program has been the friendships
that I've made. I think just the feel of the group has been a massive drawcard for me and
something, you know, I'll always treasure.
So far, my experience has been wonderful. I've had a great time, everyone's been really
friendly, supportive and it's been great to make some lifelong friends.
