"The AMP Legal Graduate Program was a unique opportunity for me to kickstart my legal career by working alongside a team of highly experienced in-house lawyers. As a legal graduate, I had the opportunity to diversify my commercial and legal acumen through rotations in different legal teams. The flexibility of the graduate program opened up numerous opportunities for me, both in terms of building my fundamental legal skills but also in helping me recognise and develop my own strengths. I was provided with a strong support network of mentors, buddies, and managers who were easily accessible and approachable. I was constantly encouraged to push myself beyond my own comfort zone in order to develop both professionally and personally. However, I was never alone on the journey, with my graduate cohort and mentors supporting me every step of the way." Cindy, AMP Legal Graduate 2019
Reviews
In the morning and afternoon, I go through all the reported phishing emails and classify them into an appropriate category (Clean, low-risk, suspicious, phish, etc). I also go through the email quarantine and assess if any emails have been caught in the quarantine that are deemed legitimate and release them. I check service now and digital shadows and analyse the impersonating domain alerts or exposed credentials and remediate these tasks. Then depending on the week, I receive different tasks to complete within the CDAR team or wider CDC community and follow up with associated colleagues after to further my knowledge.
I'm doing fulfilling work and am given consistent feedback on my development.
Rotation program means I have varied experiences across different team from management, to financial accounting across different business areas

Pros and cons of working at AMP
Pros
The people and culture of the workplace is awesome. Everyone I have interacted with has been wonderful and ready to lend a hand if I ever need it.
The degree of flexibility & development opportunities available.
Rotational structure gives grads exposure to different teams. Having a small grad cohort brings us closer together. Big focus on development.
One of the best things about working at AMP is the friendly, amazing community and workplace culture. Working at AMP has given me the opportunity develop my personal and professional skills significantly especially with the mentorship the teams at AMP provides. Since the beginning, I felt supported every step of the way. My team and peers provide amazing support and training across various business units, and working at such a collaborative environment allows me to explore different aspects and gain a greater understanding of AMP's operations.
Cons
There is always a lot going and the level of communication around this fluctuates. This can make it hard to get a clear picture of what is happening in the business as sometimes you have very little information or lots of noise to sort through.
I don't dislike anything about the company. I do think the grad program could be potentially shortened to 18 months, rather than 2 years.
Employee incentives could be better - although the view is pretty nice.
Some personnel changes/ layoffs due to company change.
