Culture
The culture at AGAA is very supportive and fun. The seniors are always here to help with our learning and work. All co-workers I bump into in the corridor or after hours are always up for a laugh or a chat. All employees are encouraged (and expected) to show initiative and drive projects.

Diversity

Diversity
A good attitude towards making the workplace as diverse as possible. The company sees the value in being flexible to retain employees and in hiring across a diverse range of people. AGGA is transparent with their notion that everyone deserves a chance to present their capabilities regardless of their background or upbringing. I've had the privilege to meet Graduates from different disciplines, work experiences and hometowns.

Recruitment

Recruitment
The interview process was incredibly smooth - the team explained the career pathway, the work life balance, and career progression. A few technical questions, but most were around attitude, goal/ambitions and seeing if I would fit with the company culture and values. Have some prepared examples of your work/university experience where you have demonstrated safety, leadership and handled tough situations. Present yourself in a way where it truly shows you are eager to learn and progressively develop yourself. Practice does get you a little better each time.

12-hour days on-site. There’s always something happening on site and funnily enough, time feels short. Sometimes, 12-hour days aren’t enough.
