Management at Cochlear

My managers are mostly accessible, but it does depend on project to project. Sometimes, I've noticed that I need to plan in advance if their schedule is busy (i.e. book meetings a week or two weeks ahead). They do make good mentors in how their approach communication, feedback and recognition. My most recent manager has often checked in with me and asked how I am and has given me direct feedback on my performance and my proactiveness on my work.

Most managers are quite welcoming and helpful, as an engineer you will be asking them a lot of questions. But it's important to note that they likely have double or triple your workload and they may not get back to you promptly. Other than that, everyone at the company is quite nice and willing to talk with you about any issues you may have or just to talk.

Internal communication is transparent, clear and supportive. Managers are very accessible via Teams messages and meetings and have regularly scheduled 1-1s. Recognition could be more publicly given.

All managers for each graduate rotation so far have been great when I ask for help. I have never been turned down and they often give helpful advice/feedback.

Managers are very accessible and are more than happy to provide feedback. Every manager I have encountered has been engaged and proactive in helping me

Mangers and sponsors have been approachable and can provide guidance on how to achieve career goals. Feedback given within rotations and to sponsors.

I couldn't believe the generosity of the VPs, they spent considerable time answering my questions. They are very transparent and clearly care about the wellbeing of staff at all levels.

Very satisfied - all fantastic mentors who are willing to help you learn and see you grow in your job.

They are all nice

Good relations with individual mangers, but not so with higher-up management.

Overall good, some teams during rotation were better than others at providing guidance and feedback during rotation.
