We approach problems with curiosity, challenging the status quo to develop innovative solutions in partnership with Australian businesses and not-for-profits. Together, we strive to make a positive impact and drive meaningful change.

What is the Vacation Program?

Start building your network and skills that will give you the future you want through the PwC Vacation Program!

If you're in your second last (penultimate) year of graduate or postgraduate studies, this program is designed for you. The program runs over four to eight weeks (length will vary across our offices) and includes full-time work experience during the university break.

With market-leading industry experience and world-class learning, a summer spent at PwC can set you up for an exciting future inside or outside our walls!

Your Future Team

In the Sustainability Reporting and Assurance team, you’ll find yourself in a culture that values curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking. Alongside your peers, you’ll create solutions for problems like providing confidence over publicly reported sustainability information or helping clients prepare for mandatory sustainability reporting. You'll use problem-solving, integrity and a growth mindset to make an impact for our clients such as listed corporations, not-for-profits, and privately-owned companies. Along the way, you’ll build relationships and skills to set you up for a lifetime of success.

What will a normal day look like?

  • Be at the forefront of sustainability reporting changes and support businesses and other entities to anticipate and respond to these changes
  • Communicating with clients on the environmental, social and governance information that they are reporting
  • Network and build relationships within a national team

As a vacationer in Sustainability Reporting and Assurance, you’ll need a degree in Sustainability, Environmental, Sciences, Commerce, Accounting or Engineering. You’ll also need to be either an AU citizen, NZ citizen, AU Permanent Resident or an international student with a work rights visa.

Our vacationer program dates are December 9, 2024, to January 31, 2025.

Varies from project to project. On my current project this involves creating business and technical requirements, hosting standups, communicating progress to the client, managing the sprint cadence (creating the meetings on outlook), liaising with the QA on test estimates , providing testing assistance when needed and explaining the business requirements to the developers to get the solution design created.

Pros and cons of working at PwC Australia

Pros

  • The people here are all genuine and open... I enjoy working in a high-performing environment where I feel that my skills are developing every day.

  • The support and growth opportunities from the team of individuals with different experiences.

  • From the day I started, I felt incredibly welcomed and supportive. No matter how high up in the company someone was they still would give me the time to help me with any questions I had. My team made work fun and enjoyable.

  • The office itself is great, especially the access to the cafe where free warm drinks are available before 12. The company has a flexible 'dress for your day' dress code, so people can often come in relaxing clothing, although many still prefer business wear

  • Our managers are highly accessible and make excellent mentors.

Cons

    • The working hours can be quite demanding

    • I think everyone, not just PwC, would like to be paid more for what they do and when compared with other graduate roles we are paid to a similar standard.

    • Time in grade is the main driver for promotion.

    • The pressure at times to meet deadlines that may not necessarily be that realistic and the billable hour demands.

    • There should be more formal training programs for technical skills here.
