Reviews
Day to date responsibilities differ from what engagements I am working on. There is a big degree of variability when considering a trade-on versus statutory reporting jobs. Generally, junior staff are responsible for accounts which involves utilising the accounting software and completing statutory lodgments.
The nature of small teams that work on significant state and national projects means that junior staff can have the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths and take on additional responsibilities. There are opportunities for frequent interaction with senior managers and clients.
As a consultant my day to day responsibilities flow from the work of the Brisbane MDs, which I find very rewarding to be directly involved in much of their projects

Pros and cons of working at FTI Consulting
Pros
The office culture is the best out of everywhere I have worked. Everyone at the firm understands that, as a graduate, I am just starting my career and am always attempting to foster growth and learning opportunities.
FTI Consulting provides a chance to work on a wide range of projects across different industries. This diversity allows employees to gain experience in various fields and develop a broad skill set.
The company is quite flexible with working hours. There is the opportunity to work from home two days per week.
There is a great deal of training and development programs ongoing throughout the year.
FTI Consulting offers amazing office spaces and amenities. Across the four major cities, the offices host outstanding views (including views from the 50th floor in Melbourne and Sydney's waterfront Opera House and Harbor Bridge views). There are plenty of drinks and snacks available to staff. There are also other amenities including wellness rooms (a tennis court in Melbourne) and post-commute services.
Cons
The fast-paced environment can sometimes lead to stress.
Not a great deal of flexibility to specialize in an area of work at a junior level.
Long hours and short deadlines.
The teams can have equal amounts of managers compared to junior staff. This means that the graduate and junior cohorts can be smaller than other firms.
The administration surrounding work allocation can be challenging.
