Reviews
Provide hr advice to employees and leaders across the group
A lot of admin work - booking meetings, writing minutes, making presentation packs, liaising with eas to organise higher-ups attendance. a lot of work is given to you that others in the team would rather not do - the important thing is to have a good attitude regardless of how passionate you are about it as that attitude is what people will talk about when you roll off/apply for internal roles.

Pros and cons of working at Westpac Group
Pros
The quality of the work and the people you work with.
Huge amount of opportunity to learn and grow.
Flexibility, atmosphere.
Rotating around between teams ensures I am learning lots and meeting heaps of people.
Great extracurricular opportunities to be involved in - from employee action groups to Toastmasters clubs.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to contact/work with departments outside of your area.
Because it's so big, it's very slow to move with change and onboarding to systems.
Having set days to come into the office. Hard to find a job after graduate program finishes.
Too many systems.
We are big, old and clunky. This means things can take ages to actually get done, and there can be heaps of red tape.
