I have had a range of experience in tax policy, even in my first 6 months. Everyday is quite different, but mostly consists of meetings regarding policy issues you are working on and then working away at your desk on documents.

Pros and cons of working at Inland Revenue

Pros

  • There is a lot of flexibility in the hours you work…you are able to start early or leave later if you wish, as long as you get your work done.

  • The people are really nice…everyone is very welcoming, helpful, and willing to give you the best opportunities possible.

  • Graduates at IRD are given lots of opportunities to work on meaningful policy changes and are provided with lots of support in their learning and development.

  • The culture here is great and there is little to no expectation to stay late/work overtime.

  • The office is very nice and in a perfect location, 1 minute from Wellington train station…everyone has a standing desk so you can choose to stand if you wish.

Cons

    • Busy periods and workloads really fluctuate. Some days you will be busy, and other days you will be trying to find work to do.

    • The onboarding process could have been better, i.e., better contact with managers/leads before starting up.

    • I will be in the 'grad' level for about 12-18 months before progressing.

    • The air conditioning is cold most of the time at our workplace.

    • Sometimes, communication about policy changes and plans takes time to filter through the different levels of the organization.
