Employees appreciate their colleagues and co-workers, who are consistently described as supportive and professional. The technically challenging and interesting work in defence programs is valued, along with competitive salaries and work/life balance features such as the 9-day fortnight. Professional development opportunities are available through training programmes and subscriptions.
However, there are some potential challenges, including concerns about upper management and leadership consistency, and the workplace culture in certain areas. Employees have noted that career progression opportunities can be limited, and internal processes may be bureaucratic. The work environment can be high-tempo, particularly when working with military customers, and there are challenges with hiring and retaining qualified staff.
