Management at Optus

Current manager and mentor are very supportive and accessible.

All the managers have been very supportive especially my direct manager. They always make time to teach grads new things and to help us skill up. Many of them have had experience in the optus grad program/cadet program so are able to relate. Even more senior managers are willing to get involved with giving a lot of their time to help interns and grads.

The managers I have had are excellent. They are readily available and accessible when needed, however do occasionally reschedule recurring 1:1's if they have other, more pressing, demands. They also provide strong feedback and take an interest in my development. I feel & they have demonstrated that they defend & champion me as a graduate within the business and with our external stakeholders.

Managers are accessible and very supportive. They offer alot of support in the day-to-day activities and provide constant feedback to us.

Sometimes it can be hard to get 1 on 1 time with my previous manager, however when I did get the chance to meet with him he was always encouraging me to pursue feedback and improve myself, however, even other managers around me frequently share their advice with me and are happy to teach me new skills.

My manager always makes time and is an excellent mentor. Offer internal recognition platform, performance feedback through regular 1:1 and QPCs

Managers are all very accessible. Senior leaders within my business unit are very approachable and genuniely want you to succeed. I think sometimes the internal comms can be a bit rose tinted.It would be good if when things are going wrong or need improvement, that management/comms could be a bit more transparent.

Great support, my manager at least is great. Definitely a great mentor, supportive with very soft constructive feedback and always giving me credit and recognition on most tasks I do!

My managers are very accessible and make great mentors. I have learnt much from my managers in both technical and leadership skills.

My experience with managers have been very good, with lots of communcation, mentorship and development help. Feedback and critical comments are always with good intentions whether positive or negative, and it has never been hard to go to for advice/help. Other experiences may vary.

Depends on your rotation and manager at the time, but overall yes, managers are accessible and help mentor you as well. They know you are grads and the grad cohort means they know this too. They help with your development, growth and performance. Sometimes these discussions happen more, sometimes less, but I have rarely found someone not willing to help

Highly dependant on team as with any other type of role

Various managers at Optus are great, they are very accessible and easy to interact and communicate with.

I've lucked out with having two incredible managers so far. They've had a really great sense of personal interest in my career growth and have prioritised putting me on projects that 1. I want to do and 2. would activitely benefit me to learn from. Performance feedback has been regular, timely, and constructive.

All of the managers I've had have been FANTASTIC. The first manager I had when I was first hired was the kindest, most considerate person. She took the time to develop me, often worked alongside me to solidify key skills and made sure to take opportunities to recognise a job well done and highlighted areas where I could improve. There was never an issue with me asking for too much support and she always had my best interests at heart. My current manager is exactly the same - we work in a very high paced environment but he always takes opportunities to coach and provide feedback, both documented and informal.

Some good managers, some managers could be better, particularly regarding communication and allocation of relevant work.

Managers are really great and supportive. Very much a matter of chance though with what manager you get.

My direct line manager is very approachable and helpful, however sometimes hard to get a hold of due to their busy schedules. My team manager, who I approach more is very helpful and is an amazing mentor and provides great support.

This is a personal highlight of mine, although it is not the case all over the business.

they are great mentors and offer support and follow up on things you say you want to improve, check in and don't let things that will damage your progress slide
