Pros & Cons

  • the people and flexibility to work remotely.
  • The team at Intergern are incredibly supportive have deep knowledge of their respective disciplines which is incredibly beneficial for Graduates new to the field.
  • Great culture, people are very willing to help and there are a lot of clever people to learn from.
  • The culture, people and opportunities.
  • The culture is very supportive, open and friendly. I was worried that the culture they marketed was just a corporate facade but was happy to find out it wasn't!
  • Due to the industry, the wavering of work can be frustrating. It's difficult to fill in your time when there is nothing for you to do. The only solution ever provided is MS exams

Career Prospects
I started as a grad, and then after 6 month you get a pay rise and then after a year most people progress to junior. The great thing here is that you have the opportunity to move around into different teams if you are not enjoying what you are doing.

Culture

Culture
I have heard it differs depending on office location but WGN culture is so inviting and friendly. The support is felt from both a team, management and entire company level. Intergern seems to be very management heavy in terms of positions but doesn't mean that everything is micromanaged, more so equals increased support around your journey. Socialisation among colleagues is easy - you can sit at a lunch table with complete strangers with whom you've never met and they will not react badly, quite the opposite. My team is very supportive and collaborative. We rely on each other given the nature of our work which has helped develop a strong tightly knitted cohort.

Diversity
Intergern have a Diversity and Inclusion group that aims to constantly progress this area of the business. Here are some points I've noticed" - Of the 6 managers in my space, 4 are female and are brilliant - My team approx. 15 people and only two are from NZ originally, this is reflected across the entire company. We have people from such a diverse range of cultures - Recently updated our maternity leave policy to provide incentives for employees to both take the leave + incentive to return back when ready

Management
They're superb! we have an open communication with everyone at any level even executives if need be, and for a departmental manager to check in on you 1:1 now and then is a blessing, it makes me comfortable to speak out and share my struggles and achievements

Office Work Environment
Office is nice and spacious, a great kitchen area (one on each floor). Free fruit/beverages (Coffee inclusive). Toilets on each level. Shower and bike locking facilities available also. We dress for our day. Have a bunch of client meetings? Wear appropriate clothing and look clean and tidy. Have a day where you'll have your head down constantly? A smart casual/causal look would be fine. No strict dress code.

Recruitment

Recruitment
The hiring process was quite painless, compared to other places I had applied to. They kept in contact during the process and I wasn't left in the dark as to what was happening. After I applied I received an email asking me to submit a video interview. In this you were taken to a portal online and given questions, you had a minute or so to think about the question then had to record your answer, then submit. You can't go back and do an answer again or re-submit so have to be prepared. After that I received an email asking me to go for an in person interview. For that I went into the office and was interviewed by a junior, intermediate and senior developer, some of the questions were technical some more generic. The guys interviewing me were really nice and it was not scary. After this interview I waited a bit and then got invited to a 3rd interview with the practice lead and practice director.. this was a shorter interview where I just talked about myself mostly and asked any questions about the company..

Salary

Salary
The salary I was offered as a Grad was very competitive and at least $10k more than the likes of the Big 4 etc. Due to retention and the nature of the market, the increases they have offered have been more than satisfiable especially in comparison to our experience in the field. No bonus for consultants. I think as you get more senior pay can become less competitive.

Training
On the job: There are a lot of opportunities to learn from seniors while on the job, and team work and peer-programming is encouraged. There is also a range of certificates that one can sit, you are encouraged to sit Microsoft exams.

Work Hours
At this stage I am happy that I am not being pushed nor is it expected to work over your stated 40 hours a week. There are times where things run over or urgent things come up but it isn't apart of the culture to work stupid hours in order to get recognised for good work. Flexibility is good. In my team if you need to pop out for whatever reason, you just flick an email to the team and let them know the timeframe you'll be unavailable for - no one questions it so long as your timesheet reflects 40 hours.
