What Graduates Say About Them

  • My team members are really great. They've helped make me feel comfortable around the office and helped me significantly with my training/development. It's also been great starting with all the other grads. We are all in the same situation, so it's great to be able to relate. The amenities are also superb.
  • I love the culture and how inviting everyone is. The training given is great and makes most tasks easy to understand and complete.
  • I love the work that I do and the projects my team gets.
  • The culture, social opportunities and fulfilled training programs.
  • Graduate programs started a little bit late. It would be better if we could start earlier.
  • Currently, my biggest con is the time it takes me to commute to the office (this obviously is not SW's fault). It ends up being about a 13-hour day from door to door
  • The graduate program may be improved by offering rotation.
  • Sometimes lots of work.
  • Some long hours during the busy season, but the team are always supportive and will help.
