Pros & Cons
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.
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.

Career Prospects
There are plenty of opportunities for progression at RAA. With the Graduate Program itself, we are guaranteed a role within the Marketing department upon completion.
Lots of community engagement and charity work, RAA employees are given the opportunity to donate parts of their salary and participate in volunteering days.
The work itself is also really rewarding, being able to have been given projects that have a meaningful impact on the company is something I wouldn't have expected to work on so early on in my career.
The hiring process was super seamless for me. I applied online, did a one-way video interview, and then had my final interview with HR and some managers from the marketing department.
For an entry-level position, the pay is good. As this is my second graduate program, I can confidently say the pay and remuneration is substantially better than my previous salary at a Big 4 company.
RAA is very flexible on working hours. An average of 38 hours per week is expected however these can be completed in a combination of office and WFH days.
