We're looking for you

We are looking for people who live and breathe the digital world and are ready to make an impact with their work.  

We consider Graduates from all degree backgrounds. However, to be successful in your career in Digital and Technology, you need to be Innovative, a problem solver, results-driven, creative, solutions-focused, resilient, strategically minded and proactive. 

You are a strong role model of our purpose and values and demonstrate leadership attributes. You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and are passionate about delivering exceptional customer service.  

We invest in your future

The program commences on 20 February 2023, where you’ll join as a full-time permanent employee. Here you’ll get a taste of what it’s like working at CommBank through professional development opportunities including interactive masterclasses, training courses and graduate conference events to help you transition from full-time study to full-time life! 

The program centres around 4 key elements: 

  • Shine: Contribute from day one by working on real projects that impact our business and our customers, within Australia’s largest bank.
  • Develop: Participate in market-leading training to develop your technical and soft skills. This will help with the transition to full-time work from university, and ensure you excel in your immediate and future roles.
  • Network: Build networks and friendships through unparalleled access to senior leaders, project leads and program sponsors, enhancing your personal and business profile.
  • Contribute: Give back to the community through intern initiatives, driving positive change across our organisation and improving the wellbeing of our intern cohort.

This is an 18-month program and includes rotations designed to build three core digital capabilities for our Graduates. Throughout the program you’ll get the chance to rotate through three different streams (Delivery, Creative and Strategy), giving you exposure to a wide range of digital tools, skills and projects. 

You will form part of a broader cohort under the Retail Banking Services stream, which also incorporates our Commercial and Analytics Graduates. In addition to your Digital rotations, you’ll have the opportunity to complete three experiences with this broader cohort. These experiences will give you direct exposure to our customers through our branch network and call centres, help you to develop fundamental risk capabilities and expose you to unique problem-solving opportunities.

It will vary depending upon what department/business unit you are in. However in my circumstance I am an Graduate/Analyst; my daily task involve morning emails, attending to applications and strategy papers, lots of meetings, some longer one rife with information or short ones to provide updates. Then after a lunch with the team it is back into credit writing. Then finishing off the day with emails. There is always time for a coffee run with the team and some good quality banter.

My role involves balancing business and customer needs in innovative and strategic ways. Day to day, I work on projects that involve uplifting certain aspects of the CBA App. I also work towards my graduate development goals to ensure I make the most out of this experience.

Pros and cons of working at Commonwealth Bank

Pros

  • Work-life balance and culture.

  • The vast amount of opportunities in the field of technology can help you upskill and keep motivated.

  • The people at CBA are extremely welcoming and talented.

  • Flexible working style and arrangements.

  • Clear investment in the technology area. This supports graduates in this area significantly.

Cons

    • As the company has the head office in Sydney, most of the teams are located there. If you are based in other cities, you may not have anyone in your team around you.

    • There is a level of competitiveness I find specifically in the Grad program cohort.

    • Limited career progression.

    • The over-importance of networking. You may not get as far as being 100% your authentic self.

    • With CBA being such a large organization, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the ecosystem and find the right person who can help.
