Pros & Cons
Supportive management and the ability to get involved in many different types of work.
All team members are very approachable and friendly, there is a great workplace culture.
The best thing about working at Pitcher Partners is how invested your colleagues are in your learning and development.
Very good office, new and well maintained, spacious and open and facilities such as sit-stand desks and an on-site barista are great.
The social culture at Pitchers is genuinely amazing! There are many events on as a firm.
Work load can be high at times.
There is sometimes a lack of work for all the graduates, meaning there never seems to be a consistent workflow.
The pay is an industry standard and receive a bonus for completing CA.
I found it very challenging to start client work during peak periods as everyone had a lot on their plate.
As part of the graduate program, places for positions in more specialist divisions are quite limited, and it is challenging to distinguish yourself from other graduates for selection. While there is a good working environment, and a lot of training is provided there is still a high expectation on your individual performance (both quality and efficiency).

Career Prospects
Heaps of promotion opportunities after the grad program, with progression and promotion evident every year or 2.
There is a strong and cohesive culture within the firm and specific teams. The graduate program enables us to build relationships with graduates in divisions all over the organization.
There is a good spread of males/females of approximately a 60/40 split between males and females. Staff come from very diverse backgrounds and the firm supports each background and the LGBTIQA+ community.
The office is in a very convenient location, just behind Southern Cross Station. Fit-outs are modern with open-plan spaces and there is an in-house cafe (free coffee!).
A very smooth hiring process. In-person interviews and group assessments happened on the same day with a quick turn-around of hearing back if you were successful or not.
Very good in comparison to other similar graduate roles at other firms, especially when accounted for the fact that we are not overworked and we are well looked after.
Formal training was very extensive for graduates. This is mainly around accounting and auditing principles. We completed a case study for both an accounting and auditing file that gave us practical experience with software.
Pitchers are really good with flexible work arrangements and are happy for you to arrive early to leave early, as long as you hit your minimums and get your work done, it is quite flexible.
