Reviews
I'm happy with the business's management of my role. my minor dissatisfaction comes more from my feeling that i still need to improve my technical knowledge before i'm completely comfortable in my responsibilities. despite my role being technical, a majority of my work is operations focused with little opportunity to practice technical skills. i feel this will improve with experience and further training.
I am very satisfied with my work - i feel like it's interesting and challenging. sometimes i am given boring tedious work, but that is due to being a graduate.
I enjoy my work

Pros and cons of working at Santos
Pros
Benefits are great: flex Friday, gym, showers, and lockers. Opportunities for FIFO roles.
Being in the graduate program, having the opportunity to rotate through different job types/roles across the 3 years.
Community, good positive team, flexible but supportive leader.
As a graduate, we are given lots of responsibility. It can be more stressful at times, but also more rewarding.
Flex Friday, WFH, good salary at the graduate level, good colleagues.
Cons
Internally as a graduate, there are large pay discrepancies between graduate cohort years.
No clear roadmap for most graduates with their rotations.
Severe lack of technical training and heavy reliance on graduates 'learning on the job' with minimal guidance.
The Oil and Gas industry cops a lot of scrutiny, so seeing a long-term career in this industry can be difficult.
High turnover and slow hiring process, lead to workload pressure on existing employees.
