Salary at Optus

I didn't even know we had a bonus at the end of the year when I started working but now I know we can get 10%+ of our salary bonus depending on our performance. The pay is just right I think for the level I'm working on. Plus we get a tonne of work perks on phones and internet which have been very satisfying.

Performance based which is very good

Pay is fair according to the level of experience of the employee. Sometimes though, there is a small discrepancy (when moving to a new role) between pay and expected level of work.

The pay is great, very competitive. Bonuses are also great, if you perform and the company as a whole performs, your bonuses are guaranteed.

The current bonus structure focuses on your performance over 12 months and I feel it is very fair. There are compulsory 6 month reviews in place but in my experience as a grad you have more frequent catch ups because the program is about your professional development rather than your remuneration.

From what I understand we do receive less than a lot of other graduate programs. I don't have an issue with this, we are receiving a lot of free training being in a graduate role (project management, presentation skills, influencing) and I think this provides us with huge benefits moving forward. I haven't been in the role long enough to have seen the bonus payments.

Pay for graduates meets the standards of other companies. Bonuses are great when performing well.

Pay is fair although if you are progressing very quickly HR could limit you based on arbitrary rules

Pay is not the best, but is close to industry average. Bonuses can be good subject to individual and company performance.

Compared to other industries, graduate pay is on the lower to mid-range level. Bonuses linked to performance are good in theory but confusing in practice.

Bonuses are based on the company's performance as well as your performance. It can be a stressful as there doesn't seem to be consistency across the board about the ratings, although they do have moderating sessions to keep it as fair as possible.

The pay could be slightly higher. Bonuses are excellent and I really like that they are performance based. There is a big jump when you role of the graduate program though
