TAL Australia Reviews

My rotation performance is closely monitored by my business sponsors and always get my feedback to discuss where I want to land at the end of the Grad program. Generally, if we wanted to land in any particular team, we get a chance to work with them in the 4th rotation and get promoted to a Level 2 or higher role at the end of the Grad Program.

TAL Community Foundation provides wonderful support to ABCN, Headspace, Royal Flying Doctors. I’ve been involved in mentoring school students through the ABCN partnership.

Overall, very positive, high-performing and supportive. With working from home, the organisation has been very flexible and will maintain this to a certain degree as we return to a hybrid model. There are definitely opportunities to strengthen the culture as it does differ quite significantly between the business units and individual teams.

Heavy focus on diversity and inclusion not only in hiring but also in promoting social issues. There are always education events around Reconciliation week, Pride week and various other ad hoc events and education pieces for different causes throughout the year.

As a graduate, I am given a mixture of plenty of support as well as responsibility. I work on a variety of projects with different stakeholders to ensure I get good exposure across the business and am given the opportunity to develop different skills.

All my managers have been brilliant and have acted as true mentors to me with a big focus on helping me to develop. My managers were approachable, accessible and gave me constant feedback and recognition to help me understand what areas I was performing well in as well as what areas I need to improve in.

Office space is great - open plan with plenty of room. Fully decked out the gym on one of the TAL levels as well as a building fitness Centre. Tea and coffee were always available on every floor. The dress code is business casual with casual Friday however different teams interpret the dress code differently.

To be hired as a graduate completed I went through the resume and application phase, did psychometric testing, completed a video interview and finished off the hiring process with 2 face-to-face interviews with senior leaders and General Manager's from different business areas

Overall, very competitive for the industry. The bonus structure is also a great perk.

Development days are provided for graduates to learn about the different aspects of professional development e.g. leadership, management styles. There is often engagement with senior managers where they share their experience in terms of development and learning more about the business.

TAL is super flexible when it comes to hours. Most of the time I work 8:30 pm to 5 pm and sometimes I work late depending on what work is due for that week, but they are very flexible about appointments and re-organising your work hours to suit your schedule.

TAL has put compost bins in the kitchen in an effort to get people to be more eco-friendly. But I haven't seen any other initiatives to reduce our environmental footprint.
