Pros and cons of working at Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)
Pros
Genuine contribution to the future of the country and the chance to work on real systems that affect lives on a daily basis. Work Life Balance Strong workplace culture: colleagues that are happy to help and behind you all the way. Chance to work on some really interesting problems and be part of the energy transition for the future. Chance to work with some fantastic people.
The work is extremely rewarding. This enables me to stay strongly self-motivated and push to achieve goals.
Pride of purpose in working for an employer that is shaping the future of Australia and all the great challenges that come with it.
AEMO is uniquely placed as the operator of the National Electricity Market to be responsible for a swathe of different roles and responsibilities across the entire country and across disciplines, the industry is incredibly fascinating and currently undergoing rapid change, it's a really interesting place to work and now, in particular, is the most interesting time!
Get to learn a lot about the energy industry in Australia. Get to rotate through multiple teams on the graduate program.
Cons
The business is wide ranging and has hundreds of responsibilities - this can be daunting and graduates can get lost without the proper guidance.
Negative press and misrepresentations in the media.
AEMO is an NGO that makes decisions affecting a really wide variety of stakeholders, not just generators, retailers and network operators but also individual consumers and manufacturers. This means AEMO has to work very hard to keep lots of people happy and can often cop a lot of flak in the media. This doesn't preclude AEMO from making changes in the industry and getting things done though.
