A very collaborative and supportive work environment that is conducive to professional growth and learning. Flexible hours and an empathetic stance towards individual predicaments renders this institution one of the most employee-centred places to work in.

Horrible place to work

Teacher (Former Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 3 November 2021

Poorly managed and poor working environment. Avoid working at this “university” at all cost. Not a genuine place to be (or even study!). If you do go ahead with a job here, expect to be overworked with little appreciation. I’m speaking about the Law School in particular.

Cons

Long hours, poor management, everything really

CAMPUS LIFE OFFICER- WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY (Former Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 14 April 2020

Western Sydney provides opportunity throughout your employment to experience different fields. The professional development is second to none and totally recommend taking advantage of it. The culture is a fun and exciting with a true professional focus on there long/ short term values and views. With all that said the only downside is that I work in a department that had the most cohesive team ethic but management has been unsympathetic and self-absorb with is there self advancement which may cause unease at the best of times.

Student Voice Officer (Current Employee) - Milperra NSW - 16 February 2020

Learned a lot and enjoyed a workplace with so many opportunities both in house and externally. It is a shame the job security is so poor because it is a fantastic place to be.

There is very little support/opportunity for staff to advance ..

School of no hope (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 11 February 2020

Not a very pleasant culture to work in, bullying is rife, too many restructures and the loss of experienced staff to inexperienced people and that's the good points !

An excellent place to make a difference to students in the West!

Continuous improvement of services. Business case, SLA, Incident management, problem management, change management, project management, change management and knowledge management. Helping people improve their processes and ICT systems in line with the organization strategy.. The hard part was being handed sub standard solutions and fixing it operationally. My key learning were a growth in end to end service management and vendor management in a large scale organization.

Opportunity to innovate

Visiting Professor - Computer Science (Former Employee) - Sydney, Australia - 31 March 2019

The university supported new ideas in teaching. Workplace culture was diversified and hence I found it to be great. Good connect with management. Teaching was always in the evenings after work and hence a bit tiresome at times
