What our current graduates enjoy about the program:
"I like that my role is really diverse. There are no two days that are the same. Some days I am in store talking to our consumers and customers about our products, other days are spent talking with business owners about how Dulux can help them improve their procurement or service models to increase profitability or efficiencies in their own business, I could go on!"
"I really enjoy how empowered I am in this role. We are encouraged to 'run the business as our own' which means we really own our territory/account. Of course, this means you will make mistakes, however, we are trained and encouraged to figure out how we would go differently about things next time and always encouraged to continue learning and developing."
"The diversity in our customers means no two days are the same and for this reason, we are encouraged to be proactive, flexible and strategic. I've really enjoyed the focus on personal development the business has provided, which in turn continues to push me to be challenged and evolve the way in which I operate."

I enjoy my role because no two days are the same. Working in R&D I get to use my technical knowledge to solve problems and innovate new products. I am responsible for day-to-day maintenance of formulas and get to work with Manufacturing as well as Marketing to develop new products for our customers.
I work to develop NPD as well as maintaining the current product portfolio. Day-to-day, I balance my time in the lab making formulas and conducting testing, with research, results analysis and meetings.
Interact with customers to ensure profitable growth and satisfaction.

Work life balance - everyone is respectful of differing working hours and will make sure team members aren't logging off too late.
+ Flexibility of Work From Anywhere. I'm able to come to the office 2 - 3 days a week and WFH for the rest! + Grad's are given a lot of opportunities to grow and expand their knowledge in their fields as well as collaborate with multiple departments and Business Units
People focus is the best value I learned at DuluxGroun
Room for flexibility, autonomy, and growth.
The people + culture, engaging work, development opportunities and constant investment in your development too
Very people focused and supports progression within the company
Technology and systems are outdated, and the process to upgrading these are slow
Some of management can be set in their ways (not all) making it hard to push through new ideas.
The outdated systems and convoluted filing systems How old and far the office is
Complicated business structure
It is a large company, which has benefits in terms of lots of different job opportunities in the same company, but a minus would be if you do not drive your own development and career goals you can get lost.
