    What’s it like working at Unitywater?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees at Unitywater appreciate their friendly and supportive colleagues, who create a positive team environment and are willing to help one another. The work/life balance is good, with flexible working arrangements and work from home options. Staff enjoy the variety and interesting nature of the work, along with training opportunities for professional development. The facilities are well-regarded, with good office areas and staff amenities.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including concerns about leadership and management, with some employees feeling there is a focus on key performance indicators and image over people. There can be a disconnect between stated values and actual practices, and some long-term staff have found opportunities for advancement to be limited. Workload can be challenging at times due to manual processes, though improvements are underway, and keeping up with ongoing organisational changes to work roles and management structures can be difficult.

    All image, no loyalty. You won't get back what you put in!
    The good thingsMy coworkers and team looked after each other
    The challengesUnitywater often talks about its strong values and commitment to its people, but the reality doesn’t always reflect what is preached. The focus seems to be more on image than on genuine action. Despite promises of growth and development, long-term staff are consistently denied opportunities under the excuse of “lack of staff,” leaving many stuck in the same roles for years. After more than a decade of service, it’s disheartening to see that dedication and experience aren’t rewarded. The culture can feel like it’s built on appearances rather than authentic support or investment in employees.

    Poor work environment, too heavy of a self-serving management structure prioritising corporate self-gratification, not enough actual workers and poor focus on resourcing for core deliverables. I would warn friends about working here.
    The good thingsCentral office locations, nice facilities. Pay was competitive at the time (but they completely didn't deliver on package promised).
    The challengesThe organisation is too interested in appearing to do the right thing then just focusing on the basics of good service and focusing on sewer and water connections and networks. When I resigned there was no offboarding interview = no learning from their mistakes.
