About the Summer Internship Program
Nova provides unpaid internship placements for university students in their penultimate or final year of studies, whose tertiary qualifications are aligned to Nova's core capabilities.
The internship program provides successful candidates with the opportunity to learn and develop their skills, by working on exciting projects aligned with their tertiary studies.

Pros and cons of working at Nova Systems
Pros
The community and culture are amazing. Everyone is friendly and always welcoming.
Flexible hours, good support.
The flexibility of work, variety of opportunities available and positive work environment.
The company invests in fostering community spirit and an interconnected culture.
Lots of amazing people who are willing to help and aid in your growth.
Cons
Probably due to the lack of knows, the industry is unpredictable, but that doesn’t always have to transfer to the grad program. There could be some fallback structure.
The office environment can on occasions often feel too quiet and remote.
The type of work can be not as interesting sometimes.
Graduate program was underwhelming. I don't think I have learnt a lot as an engineer.
Limited work opportunities. Tightened policy on relocation & flexible work.
