They can be quite varied. I have done a lot of data analytics work at Nous, so my day could easily include modelling in R. A lot of other tasks that Nousers typically do is desktop research, where you will research a topic and collate the information into a coherent narrative.
As part of the Nous team, you’ll have the opportunity to think big, elevate your ambitions and partner with leading experts and organisations.
Pros and cons of working at Nous Group
Pros
The workplace culture is warm and welcoming. They cultivate an environment that encourages knowledge sharing and high (but supported) performance.
The work we get to do is intellectually stimulating, meaningful, and impactful.
There is a (fairly) flat organisational structure, and you have a lot of opportunities to interact with principals - within projects, the team structure is well-balanced with senior and junior consultants and project directors are very hands-on.
They are invested in my personal development as a consultant and regularly provide feedback (positive and constructive) to help me grow.
Nous Group has delivered over $7 million in subsidised consulting through our Community Partnerships Scheme; our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan directs our collective efforts towards enhancing the self-determination and future of First Nations Australians; Operationally, they uphold sustainability through eco-conscious travel and procurement practices, waste reduction, emissions targets, and compensating for residual emissions.
Cons
The workload changes: sometimes it's really busy, and sometimes very quiet, but that's part of the job!
My company is flexible. Sometimes there are longer days (until 7 pm for example) but the self-managed approach means it's up to each employee how they use their work hours (within reason of course).
The starting salary and super for a graduate is about standard compared to other companies. Depending on company performance and the specific contract you signed, you can receive a bonus at the end of the financial year.
The training was good but was predominantly online and I think would have benefitted greatly from being in person. In terms of on-the-job training, it's fantastic. Our intranet and IP are great and there is so much to learn.
The hardest part of working at Nous is the hours - they aren't too bad, but sometimes you will have to flex up on some nights to complete a deadline.
