Pros and cons of working at John Holland

Pros

  • Great company culture, looking after employees

  • Diversity of work and great colleagues.

  • The wide range of experience / different activities I have received on the one project.

  • A lot of experience, knowledge to be gained. Learning on the job Great graduate program with dedicated courses, learning modules and networking events.

  • Salary package is very attractive.

  • Working on Projects in different States. Being able to work across multiple engineering disciplines.

Cons

    • Long working hours and lack of knowledge sharing.

    • The failure to be rotated through the graduate program to experience different projects. The lack of acknowledgement from John Holland for the hours and time committed to the job.

    • The lack of focus on emerging technologies

    • Some graduates were not allowed to rotate as often as stated in their graduate program brochure (6 months per rotation) Quality of teams differs from project to project

    • Working for a rail business means there is a need for night shifts, weekend shifts and long periods of long shifts. It is not all the time, but it is also not a rare occurrence.

    • Could be pigeon-holed or just become a number.
