Employees appreciate the excellent Optus campus with its facilities and amenities, as well as the supportive colleagues and positive team culture. The work/life balance is generally good with flexible hours and hybrid working arrangements, and there are career development opportunities available. Employee benefits, including service discounts and competitive pay for high performers, are also valued.
However, there are some potential challenges, including an inconsistent management approach with variable support from senior leaders, high sales pressure in retail roles with unrealistic targets, and frequent restructures that can affect job security. Some teams experience heavy workloads with limited resources, and training can be informal, making it challenging to navigate the organisation initially. Additionally, some employees feel compensation could be more competitive.
