What insiders say about…
Varied roles in Audit and Advisory, day-to-day consists of client meetings, fieldwork and reporting.
There's a fantastic work culture and higher-ups still communicate with recent graduates and are involved in after work drinks etc. The other grads that started with me have become good friends and there's plenty of socialising amongst colleagues in other divisions.
Fairly standard interview questions about how I could fit into the culture/vision of the company? What I studied and why I studied that? What I am looking for at the company/for my career?
Read the company website thoroughly. Have an understanding of the division/team you have applied for and the overall vision/values of the company. You will be asked questions about the values and how they relate to you.
Work hours can be a lot during busy season when there are deadlines. The company is good about giving you study time for CA and realising that even one night a week of not working super late can really help you.
No bonuses that I've heard of and the starting salary is good not amazing.
Mostly very good. A couple of people need to improve their management skills
Training is extensive and well supported with both instructor-led courses and online training.
