Pros and cons of working at Department of the Treasury
Pros
Everyone is so supportive and engaging, there is a want to help graduates at every level and I have felt beyond supported in everything I have wanted to do.
The department really invests in us in terms of bringing us together as a cohort, learning the Treasury process and also gaining knowledge in how to be a better public servant.
I love the flexibility here, it’s the perfect balance of being in the office and balancing my personal life.
A solid organisational culture where effort is recognised and rewarded and collaboration is encouraged.
Treasury has generous broadbanding, especially for graduates – you will quickly move from an APS3 to an APS5. Managers are often very invested in the career growth of their team members and promotion opportunities are very good.
Cons
The requirement to permanently relocate to Canberra to participate in the graduate program.
There was a very steep learning curve at the beginning of my employment and it was quite overwhelming but not unmanageable.
Lacks innovation at times.
While the work I currently do is very satisfying it does require some long hours which at peak times requires sacrifices to my work life balance. I feel well supported during these times and that long hours are balanced out by higher pay and lower hours at other times in the year.
Work/decision making can get delayed at times by bureaucratic processes.
