Pros & Cons

  • Get to represent the values our film stands for in taking care of mid-market clients with sincerity and care - the values have excited me from day one and motivated me to become a trusted adviser for our clients.
  • Everyone, no matter their title, is very inclusive and always has the time to help you, even when they are busy themselves. We are like a small little family here, everyone is reliable and always makes it much more enjoyable to come into the office.
  • There are numerous opportunities to cultivate a wide range of technical and transferable skills at Pitcher Partners. The company places a strong emphasis on training its employees to a high standard.
  • The culture in Pitcher Partners is amazing, seniors are helpful with setting us up on tasks when delegating, and a good amount of training is provided before being put on engagements. Regular feedback is given during and after each engagement. Grads are not expected to work crazy long hours during peak seasons.
  • The level of opportunity and responsibility that is available to individuals who are willing to put themselves out there and take on opportunities that arise. There is scope for junior staff members to take on a wider variety of tasks as opposed to taking on repetitive entry-level jobs. This further improves as you progress further in your career with more opportunities and responsibilities passed on.
  • The rotations can be a little unknown, and you need to be adaptable. (I like to control things so this is a downside for me)
  • I couldn't think of any...but if I have to name one I would say the rotation program is challenging as you are starting with a new team every eight months, where you need to adapt to new procedures etc. But at the end of the day, the graduate would come out very well-rounded.
  • Remuneration
  • The nature of professional services can sometimes be mundane and repetitive. The People Experience Team keeps things exciting through various programs and initiatives to address this issue.
  • Pay, although this is consistent across all firms in the industry so not a con of my firm.

The firm has a good mix of cultural backgrounds, the culture is respectful, caring, chill and fun.

New PP women's network, we always have events in recognition of various minorities (eg. wear it a purple day). We had a survey recently around how to improve diversity and inclusion and PP takes steps to put the feedback from these into action.

I'm at the stage where I can now start to handle my workflow, take greater responsibility for jobs and see the benefit of the work we do. This includes running audit jobs as auditor in charge and completing financials and tax returns for our clients.

They are more than likely always available to help, and they also care about your personal life as much as your work life, so they make you feel comfortable and free to talk to. They also provide consistent feedback and if you have done some great work, they will let you know about it.

Office Work Environment

Office Work Environment
The location is excellent, being right outside Southern Cross Station, making it extremely easy to commute to and from work. The facilities are very good, plenty of space for your daily work and everyone is being allocated a locker to keep their items. There are also fridges and cheese presses all through the building, and we also have a private cafe where they can make coffees for FREE. The office also has End of Trip Facilities which are amazing for those who cycle in or want to do some exercise in the day. They have towels that you can use ready to go and great showers to go with it. The dress code is relatively flexible, being general office attire: (Shirt and Chinos (belt optional)), however, if you will be dealing with clients, you will need to be dressed in a suit.

Recruitment

Recruitment
The interview process consisted of four stages, with assessments becoming progressively more challenging. However, the process is intentionally designed to identify individuals who align with the firm's values and expectations. Going through this process, I realised how much I wanted to be a part of the firm. Reaching the final stage was exceptionally rewarding.
