Good culture, good projects, good pipeline of work, low pay

Electrical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great culture, interesting projects, good place to start a career

Cons

Low paying, low recognition, they claim the salary is “market value” when it’s not. Your value does not appear to be how good of an employee you are, rather how many years of experience you have. Eg you can have a high performing grad and a low performing grad and get the same opportunities, benefits, pay bumps ect.

Beca Response

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience at Beca. We're pleased to hear you enjoy the culture and projects. We appreciate you raising your concerns around salary and performance. We know how important it is for people to feel valued for the impact they make, not just the years they’ve been in the industry. We’re continually working to strengthen how we recognise performance, potential, and impact at all levels, including our graduate and early‑career pathways. We appreciate you raising this, and we’ll use it as part of our ongoing work to improve how we support, reward, and grow our people. We appreciate your ongoing contribution to Beca and our communities.
