Pros and cons of working at Essential Energy
Pros
The opportunities my team provides me. They allow me to choose my path and give me endless resources and support.
Supportive work culture with great development opportunities.
Support from managers & team, getting to do rotations and network flexibility with WFH.
The people are very supportive and eager to help out your journey of professional development.
It's a very collaborative environment so you'll be able to meet a lot of people with differing areas of expertise.
Cons
It is a huge company and hard to get visibility of what is happening outside of your division.
The time it takes to get required access.
As everyone is so spread apart, you might not have the chance to meet everybody face to face.
The office space wasn't very inviting. The actual property is outdated and bland.
Cost of living does make it hard to comment on this, more is always better but I believe we're at least competitive with the rest of the market.
