Pros & Cons
The people. Everyone is so friendly, and my team has really welcomed me in. It's good that there are a few young people in the team. My buddy is just one year older, but he knows so much already. He's more than happy for me to ask him questions and have a good chat if I'm learning from it. The grads here are pretty keen to get amongst everything and it's just very good energy here.
KiwiRail is very supportive and will help you grow into the professional you desire to be.
Being a large company you have the opportunity to be part of a vast range of projects at once.
The flexibility within each team, and how welcoming they are. Great discounts and employee benefits, 5 weeks annual leave and they take care of you well.
Office location.
Technical difficulties with work device but that's kind of normal in any workplace.
Complicated business structure. Very big and silo's. Difficult to wrap your head around as a new employee.
Age-gap.
It's hard to get to know people due to the large scale of employees.

Career Prospects
The graduate program has a structured progression to move graduates into full-time roles that they are passionate about.
There is a strong culture of teamwork and friendliness. Staff and departments are familiar with each other across locations and business areas and are always happy to explain their role or help. Social events are organized regularly.
Kiwirail is making a concerted effort to recruit a more diverse workforce and the professional teams are already very diverse in terms of gender ratio, presence of POC, etc.
I love the Millennium office building. I'm very happy I can have as much free coffee as I want/need haha. The dress code is smart casual and casual on Fridays.
