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

Productive and Fun
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.

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 !

Productive and Fun work place
Student Enquiry and Information Officer (Former Employee) - New South Wales - 2 December 2019
Productive and Fun work place. I was lucky to be surrounded by all wonderful and amazing colleagues. There were quite senior colleagues but they never let me feel I am new. They were very helpful,motivating and patient while training me. They always maintained a positive energy at work. Loved working there and miss everyone now.

An excellent place to make a difference to students in the West!
Service Delivery Manager (Former Employee) - Richmond NSW - 21 November 2019
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
