Pros & Cons
The people, culture and work-life balance.
Grant Thornton is truly an exceptional place to work. The firm really values diversity and inclusivity, and actively supports various charities.
The flexibility of home and office.
Exposure to a number of types of clients, good structure, really nice offices, good culture, other associates always ready to give you a hand.
9 day working fortnights during quiet periods has been amazing. It helps incentivise me to finish my work earlier so I can get time off.
It seems that there is not much cross over between different service lines.
Sometimes you are required to work after hours.
Sometimes you will need to visit the client that is quite far away.
While the starting salary may be lower, the potential for growth and advancement is promising.
Lots of online training modules to complete at the beginning.

Career Prospects
There is a clear career pathway laid out for all staff and the firm is growing well enough that opportunities are available to those who want to pursue them.
Grant Thornton's culture is potentially their biggest strength. We have an extremely respectful environment which enables us to share our concerns and ask for help without feeling intimidated.
All the managers that I have worked with have been fantastic; they are all more than willing to go out of their way to help me understand and complete my work.
Initially, you're immersed in a lot of information, but the bulk of learning happens on the job, supported by seniors and managers who are always available to help.
