What Graduates Say About Them
  • Flexible working has been the best thing about working for Woodside as it allows you to have a more work/life balance. For example, we have flexibility to choose are start and finish times.
  • Great with inclusion and diversity, job training and mentoring and lot's of teaching, and lovely people
  • The 1 on 1 training that I receive along with other opportunities that are provided for graduates. The team is really friendly and always ready to help.
  • Diverse workforce, high-performance culture with the freedom to do so
  • Culture, exciting and interesting project work, awesome office space, endless opportunity
  • Work load can at times be stressful which I believe comes with working for such a large company.
  • Lack of progression. Lack of options to choose where you want to be/work. Lack of work variety and exposure.
  • The company is too big and the complexity of simply things is frustrating. The business is more about looking good than doing good.
  • Low moral, hyper change, graduate redundancies, disconnect between leadership and those that execute work.
  • Some times workload can be stressful but I think this is what is expected working for such a large company.

Mostly, I love the responsibility I am given to manage multi-million-dollar materials autonomously. To be so early in my career, yet given the opportunity to contribute to such critical, base-business work is a massive privilege.
