Pros and cons of working at KordaMentha
Pros
Opportunities to grow and learn. Smaller compared to big 4. Heavy access to senior leadership. Opportunities to get involved in building business/strategy. CA classes paid for.
The people and events. It's always enjoyable to see everyone in the office. Especially as a grad, it's great to have so many people around you that are willing to help out and support you.
The Office space is premium and one of the better aspects of the employer, with scenic views in the heart of the city, they could not be better.
Company is quite social and flat culturally. You can talk to senior people comfortably. Nothing toxic or negative. People are generally highly professional and sociable.
Managers are exceptionally talented individuals with a willingness to both learn and help, praise and recognition are given.
Cons
Team is still building to have the right middle management/procedures/training in place for grads/trainees.
Occasionally, you may be required to work some late nights if you have been placed on a demanding engagement.
Busyness as a grad can be very variable.
Pay is not great for some of the hours that you are required to do.
Not enough structured training content delivered to graduates in the Consulting team.
