Salary at Optus

Its above average, but being on a 2 year program, it feels like salary progression is slow.

I think the grad pay is quite generous especially considering the interview process was not cracked like some of the companies out there. The base for 2023 grads is 80k with a 10-20% bonus depending on your performance.

They pay is competitive within the market, and bonuses are awarded on a business unit by business unit basis. However, payroll is slow to adjust and correct errors, and newer / more junior graduates get paid higher than more senior graduates. When superannuation contributions rise the business takes on those costs rather than reduce employee pay.

Pay is quite good for new grads.

For a grad program I think that we are paid very well.

I think it is very good

Paid well considering we are entry level and they are training us. And we are eligible for bonus

They pay is good, I believe it is more than most graduate positions. I believe the bonus is quite good too and is heavily based on performance.

Definitely higher than your average graduate (compared 6 offers that I received last year)

I think they are fairly consistent with the market.

Pay and bonuses are quite good thus far. I have been increased in salary as a graduate quite significantly since starting, I believe due to the job supply issue of 2022, and the demand for graduates and roles increasing quite a lot

Overall, pay is good for a grad role, that is. However, I would like to see this increase a bit significantly once rolling off the grad program.

We have quite a competitive salary, and higher than industry average. Our bonus system is linked to not only the performance of the organisation but individual performance as well which is a transparent and fair process.

Bonuses have been good so far. Pay is unequal between tech and corporate graduates seemingly arbitrarily (some tech grads are in roles that don't require technical abilities and some corporate grads are in roles where technical ability may be required) Corporate graduates are paid the minimum for the level and technical graduates were not

I'm paid well for a graduate, but at the same time I feel is way above my pay grade.

Provides excellent incentives and base pay, above average for typical graduate roles.

The pay is very generous for a Graduate role

Pay is good with 10% performance bonus if meets expectations. There is opportunity to get more.

Pay is average, bonus is determined by the business units performance and isn't fully fair on us who have worked hard to earn our own bonus but depends on whether the whole business unit has performed

Great pay for a graduate role.

$80 monthly credit to phone/internet plan
