Pros and cons of working at EY Port Jackson Partners
Pros
Very interesting variety and impact of projects. Surrounded by very talented and driven people. Strong collegiate and collaborative culture
I love the people and culture at PJP - I get to work with fantastic people every day, and we really value our relationships with each other
The best parts are the people and the work - everyone is very smart and hardworking and willing to help one another. The work is very stimulating and interesting - we work with CEOs and senior executive management on critical issues and it's quite rare to have access to such opportunities at a graduate level.
Great opportunity and exposure, smart and ambitious colleagues
Cons
Sometimes the work is very intense - because our work is project-based, sometimes there is a hard deadline and we have to knuckle down and work long hours to get everything done
