Water Corporation Reviews

Pros

Fantastic work life balance, very flexible employer and lots of opportunities across the state. New CEO appears to have the right ideas but the Corporation is a large, resistant wheel to turn on his own and will take him a few years.

Cons

Overly cumbersome bureaucracy makes it extremely slow to get anything done and lacks accountability for not delivering outcomes. Continuously restructuring ( 4-5 since 2013) has lead to a middle management heavy business and associated political jockeying between departments.

Pros

Great location, good benefits, nice people.

Cons

Covers the whole state and a lot of remote sites

Pros

Good location, autonomy and the recent change in exec.

Cons

Support heavy. Lack of demonstration of the importance of those that work on the frontline by most middle managers, leading to a them and us culture. Constantly chasing the next fad or trend creates uncertainty and confusion among workers. Few leaders, plenty of lack lustre and egotistical managers.

Pros

It has nice central laboratory working environment

Cons

It will take me 30+ minutes to get to work

Pros

I worked with some fabulous people

Cons

Unorganised, contradictory management who are keen to sacrifice others to save themselves! Despite the policies and procedures, they don't care about anyones mental health... you are just a number.

Pros

Good life - work balance. Good support. Good development opportunities.

Cons

Beurocracy Lengthy processes. Hard to implement change.

Pros

The level of support you receive is excellent. People have your back and want you to do well. A great place to work.

Cons

Some processes take a while to get results from, however, these are being monitored and will improve.
