DO WORK THAT MATTERS 

We’re responsible for the world-leading application of technology across every single aspect of CommBank – from innovative product platforms for our customers, to essential tools within our business. 

Whatever you’re working on, you’ll be empowered to spark change, transform an industry and deliver what really matters. We’re passionate about what we can do with a truly diverse team. 

WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU 

Our diverse teams look for many different qualities in graduates. You’re dedicated to creating a better experience for our customers, and also passionate about technology, the simplification of processes and organisational change. 

You’re a natural problem-solver and curious about the world around you. We believe in using the right tool for the job, so an open mind to learning new tech stacks, languages and frameworks will go a long way. 

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 graduate initiatives, driving positive change across our organisation and improving the wellbeing of our graduate cohort.

Our flexible 18 month program, offers a tailored experience with three rotations where you’ll contribute to our technology innovations within industry-leading teams while you are supported and empowered to navigate and invigorate your career. Whether you want to work on apps, websites, in back end or in the cloud, you’ll find it all here. Best of all, you don’t have to have it all figured out before joining us. 

The possibilities for our tech cohort is ever-expanding. For Engineering this includes Data (ML / AI), Software Engineer (Web / Mobile / Fullstack), Site Reliability and Security. 

This program gives you the option to rotate across either complementing or widely varying teams. So whether you want to fast-track into a specialist role or discipline, broaden your expertise or simply ‘try something on for size’, you'll have the opportunity to tailor the career you want while we support you in navigating our vast tech landscape. 

You’ll gain access to world-class technical and development resources to help you expand your skills. Our people bring their diverse backgrounds and unique perspectives to build a respectful, inclusive, and flexible workplace. One where we’re driven by our values, and supported to share ideas, initiatives, and energy. One where making a positive impact for customers, communities and each other is part of our every day. 

Our Technology teams are based across Australia, and our Graduate cohort will be too. This program will have Graduates based in Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.  

We will support you to work when and where works best for you. Award winning flexible working practices, supportive parental and life leave options, plus unlimited dedicated volunteering leave are just a few reasons we think you’ll thrive here. You’ll be supported when faced with challenges and empowered to tackle new opportunities. We really love working here, and we think you will too.

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.
