    What’s it like working at VAE Group?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees consistently praise the company culture at VAE Group, describing it as supportive, inclusive, and family-like. The quality of colleagues and teamwork is highly rated, with approachable management who genuinely care about employee wellbeing. Employees appreciate the work/life balance, competitive pay and benefits, and professional development opportunities. The diversity of work across various HVAC projects keeps roles interesting and engaging.

    However, there are some potential challenges associated with the company's rapid expansion across Australia, New Zealand, and PNG, which can create growing pains. Some employees have experienced inconsistent management practices and communication, particularly in certain divisions. Workload pressures exist, including chargeability expectations and managing increased volumes. As the company grows geographically, communication between teams can be more difficult, and career progression opportunities may vary across different roles.
