Salary at GHD Australia

It is a great starting salary however other companies do offer more.

Seem fairly standard for the industry

My pay has been quite high for a first year graduate and bonuses are given to people who have demonstrated commitment and hard work

Pay levels I think are fairly good, and my pay increased slightly. But salary review does not seem to be something that I have had any formal discussions about.

I have only just started so I have no bonuses. I think the pay rate is fair and reasonable for just starting out.

It is a little low compared to other companies

I am earning exactly the average for graduate civil engineers

The pay seems to be average for graduates and I am happy with it. I have heard that once you leave the graduate program the pay at GHD is often much less than other companies and a lot of people leave because of it. But I have not yet experienced this myself.

I know that pay is lower than several other similar companies, but the experience and opportunities are worth it. they are also very accommodating and flexible with time. no bonus, but yearly pay rise throughout grad program and first few years

The pay isn't great, and I don't know if I get more or less than engineering grads, but this is my first year out of uni so I am happy with the pay I receive.

Pay is lower but other things within the company are really good that make up for some of that

The pay is less than competitors' offerings, but I believe that is compensated for through the amount of provisions, perks, benefits provided and the comfort in which we work. If I was earning the same salary and working obscene hours or with rude people, I would consider resigning. No bonuses isn't a big deal, but an indication of future salary expectations would be handy to have when planning out my career.

Pay is a little low compared with other companies

We don't get bonuses. Pay is a bit less than what you can get elsewhere.

They should be increased and more transparent based on skills, experience and qualifications

Graduate pay is not high by industry standards. GHD recently raised base grad salary.

Low pay rate considering charge out rate. However still graduate status and increasing skills everyday.

GHD pay is average among engineering consultants

Could be more but its around average

It would definitely be nice to get more! However as a graduate, I am fine with my pay however I would hope I would be recognised for what I am doing and my pay increase accordingly.

The company often has social activities and tickets to events for its employees.

I like the idea of salary sacrifice where you can sacrifice some of your pay to get an additional 4 weeks of leave. This is essential for someone like me who has to travel a lot due to sporting commitments.

Good events and networking opportunities

Morning tea - free food in the office room - normally leftover sweets, because people are weird about their health (but still don't exercise).

Flexible work life balance. Staff happy to help and are interested in passing on their knowledge

Vouchers when performance is good

Social events with provided food and drinks

Ball at the end of the year. Lots of social events. Flexible work (hours, working from home, working part time etc.)

Flexible work hours and flexible offices too. Can work anywhere from any office.

All meals expenses etc covered while travelling for company. Company is engaged in professional societies, sometimes offered tickets to talks.

The best perk is the work functions organised for us. Although I'm sure they exist I'm not aware of any other perks.

Extravagant yearly social functions.

Great work drinks and events including end of year whole office event at the Museum of Contemporary art in Circular Quay.

Any event is paid for and sometimes there are free sandwiches for lunch

The best example is our team's rewards and recognitions program, where each month team members may be nominated for a movie voucher or other prize, for performing exceptionally in their work or outside of work. It rewards good behaviour, which is one of the key motivators for a lot of people to do well in their job. The worst perks are the pitiful discounts on memberships offered by ridiculously expensive gyms. Not many people would be able to afford these, even after the discount. The perks would be better used on more affordable options, such as fuel discounts at a certain chain, or better deals with superannuation providers.

20% gym memberships and health care

Staff drinks every 2 weeks. $5 yoga classes on Thursday evenings in the office. Running club. Social club. Young professionals society - organises technical and social social events; and creates networking opportunities for those with less than 10 yrs exp.

Have large events frequently, get discounts on a number of things (health insurance, etc)

Free Christmas party (also free for partners). Free other milestone events. Gym discounts. Flight discounts. Paid admission to dinners and events with Engineers Australia and similar.

Free drinks, lots of company sponsored events (after work and weekends)
