Pros & Cons
I still access to flex hours... work between the hours of 7am-7pm if needed on an ad hoc basis, along with working from home one day a week.
Seeing the direct positive impact my work has done in improving the lives of people.
In the right areas - everyone is incredibly genuine and helpful. There is a real camaraderie and team spirit to achieve a collective goal.
It is expected that graduates will move from APS levels 3 to 5 during the year-long program with opportunities to progress to level 6.
$500 for 'health purchases' (unmonitored) is nice.
Government administration can be terribly slow and painful to deal with. Red tape is a big problem.
Sometimes ridiculous expectations that we should be on-call on weekends or nights when work gets busy.
We are no longer given the opportunity to study a graduate diploma in public administration at University.
Colleague socialisation exists but is limited outside of among the graduate cohort.
Very lengthy, tedious, and bureaucratic... the hoops to jump through and requirements were very demoralising.
