Job Satisfaction at Leidos Australia

Flexibly work hours. Knowing that the work i am doing is being used by people.

I am working on a small project. I have many tasks that are always coming in and my day to day involves completing those tasks.

I would love more variety and a bit more direction. I wish there was more documentation to follow, rather than me having to make my own.

Lots of opportunities given to learn new skills, people leaders are responsive to your goals.

My role includes integrating different COTS products, making sure that they work well together. If there are issues, I need to interact with different teams and vendors to make sure that the end system functions correctly.

Estimating tickets, solving bugs, replying to clients, drinking coffee, standups, coding, making tickets, working on tickets, writing tests, finding bugs.

Day to day, mainly work on completing tickets for new functionality/bugs, contributing to code reviews and testing.

Web development all day.

Finance.

Currently, a good mixture of learning, either solo or shadowing/being taught by another team member, and completing tasks utilising an Agile work methodology.

They call it engineering but it is more akin to business analyst work, which involves a lot of reading of technical data and liaising with different stakeholders to aid the business design.

There is a distinct lack of day-to-day responsibilities in my current program as I do quite a lot of random tasking which is typically unrelated from the task done before. I can't really comment on any routine as there hasn't been one since rotating.

I need more to do. I want more to do to make the days go faster. I am struggling to learn in my graduate role due to lack of work and access currently.

In my old program, I had a set routine of responsibilities and tasks to do which I was becoming quite confident in. Unfortunately after my rotation, any sense of routine and/or set responsibilities has diminished. Tasking is often sporadic and often unrelated to the task I was doing before.

My day-to-day responsibilities and the expectations placed upon me strike quite a nice balance between being adequately challenging and not exhausting/overly stressful.

Pending clearance therefore, cant fully fulfill my role. Been working in the BTI team of Program Execution dealing with dashboards, BRRs and requests on improving procedures.

Scrum ceremonies, creating, completing and reviewing tickets, working with team members and teaching things to newcomers, liaising with the customer.

Working through a variety of tickets for features/bugs, meetings like daily standup, backlog refinement, general SCRUM ceremonies.

Coding and development.
