Reviews
Assisting the team i am in with campaign briefs, invoicing, meaningful conversations about what is happening in the organisation.
Day-to-day activities are dependent on the rotations we are in at the time, but in most roles I am able to help the team with BAU activities, with lots of opportunities to own projects or tasks.
Depends on the rotation, but I usually get given a big task that goes on for the duration of the rotation, then several other smaller tasks to handle simultaneously.

Pros and cons of working at RAA
Pros
The company culture and how approachable/friendly everyone is. I always have someone to turn to and have support for in anything that I needed.
RAA is highly invested in developing its younger employees and gives us ample opportunity to engage with learning and development sessions from a variety of topics.
The workplace culture is really great, they really focus on work/life balance and ensure that we work in an approachable, friendly environment.
The culture is great, RAA and the graduate program are pretty flexible in terms of allowing days to work from home, and starting/finishing times can be negotiated with the manager.
Everyone is extremely welcoming and wants you to do your best, so they are always open to providing feedback and support.
Cons
A downside is the graduate salary, for the work we are doing and for our STEM degree backgrounds I do believe it should be higher.
The company structure can be a little frustrating at times as information is difficult to collect.
Lack of direction/unclear employment progression.
There could be a greater commitment to diversity company-wide, especially respecting cultural and orientation diversity.
This year was the first time having a different cohort of different grads who have come from different education backgrounds. Which has made a bit of drift between certain groups of grads.
