I support anyone in my team who needs extra help. This changes what I work on every day. During my working week (2 days part-time) I commit 3 hours to calling to survey customers about a specific product. In other work, I am currently documenting the process that a team member has to take to be able to survey based on the different brand and intended customer audience, it's very interesting and I'm getting a wider knowledge of the business from it
I am involved in daily input processes that is required by other teams so that they can complete their work. It can be fairly repetitive but there is opportunities to work on a variety of work and projects.
I enjoy the role I am in. At times it can be repetitive, but that is the reality in a entry level role. The team provides a lot of support and help with any challenges I face.

Pros and cons of working at BOQ Group
Pros
Flexibility to WFH whenever I want (please omit this as it will not apply to all interns). People here are great. Company understands that you are a Junior/Intern and wants you to learn/ doesn't expect you to perform as well as established staff. Staff home loan rates.
Great mentorship during the internship program. Felt as though the tasks and expectations were very well calibrated for a first time internship.
Team has been absolutely great, extremely welcoming and willing to mentor and guide me throughout the tasks I'm assigned should I have any issues. Overall a very friendly team, where I feel comfortable enough to reach out to managers/senior managers if I find the need to.
Culture that is welcoming and promotes personal career development
The culture is very supportive, welcoming and inclusive. I know I can always ask for help when I need it. My work changes a lot from week to week - I enjoy the variety.
Cons
When trying to increase capacity for work, the process can be timely.
The only downside would be the team being split across Australia so there are not as many in the office I'm in, but not really a concern for me personally.
Inability to rotate teams as an intern and experiment
Initially, there was a lot of change happening, which made it hard as a first corporate role. It took a while to adjust to everything as things would change so often. I think that was bad timing.
Technology isn't as developed as other companies
