I joined as a graduate software engineer and completed the two year graduate program. There I learned leadership, time management and teamwork. I also had the privilege of serving as graduate project leader and raising $4354 for the charity Legacy which cares for the families of deceased and disabled veterans. 

Management is tough, as we are going through some trying economic times, with a strong focus on efficiency. 

The most enjoyable part of my job was seeing my software go live at Air Traffic Control sites in Singapore, South Africa and France.

A typical day meant a very busy day and part of the evening as well, as I was dealing pre-dominantly with an overseas project.

Dealing with people from many countries and walks of life.

As long as you do your job well, management are happy and therefore not hard to get along with.

Co-workers were great to work with.

There was no hard part. I enjoyed the job itself and loved working there and would most probably still be there if the project had not come to its end.

Communication is poor.
 Management never seem certain of what is the next contract or the required workforce numbers.
Machines are old and are always breaking down.
They hire many casual operators, only to give them a brief amount of employment, and then don,t bother to keep in contact, basically leaving them in limbo.( Refer first 2 points)
Low morale, and negative culture on factory floor, of long term employees.
An embarrassing situation,

Bullying of females and new employees

Very poor. There is a uneven playing field

Deepending on who you are. The favourites get the good jobs

Very toxic work culture they will make sure you do not sleep at night, even if you cry for a help they will ignore what you are saying and just continue their culture going on, even HR are not supported here as per Australia’s polices of human right, 
For example you will get big mail by manager of you get personal half day leave without informing them that I am leaving early or joining late and even if you are ready to compulsate the hours later on

Very clicky  place , bullies there  are people out doing people  pushing and hurrying the workload along to get a hi score no matter the risks and there have been a few ! One group in particular, 

If you want an eye opener then this is the place,  you will be amazed in what you make and work on out there.  So much security and fantastic ppl to work for and the employees there make you feel very welcomed you really enjoy going to work.  Only issues is not very secure jobs there.  They mainly hire casuals as the company  realise on contracts from customers all over the world so if they have not much products to make then  your out of a job.

Working in a team environment.

Getting it done in a  short time frame.
