Varies from project to project. On my current project this involves creating business and technical requirements, hosting standups, communicating progress to the client, managing the sprint cadence (creating the meetings on outlook), liaising with the QA on test estimates , providing testing assistance when needed and explaining the business requirements to the developers to get the solution design created.
Assisting in conducting internal audits and compliance reviews.
Mainly involved in investment research and operations for providing clients with investment advice.

Pros and cons of working at PwC Australia
Pros
The people here are all genuine and open... I enjoy working in a high-performing environment where I feel that my skills are developing every day.
The support and growth opportunities from the team of individuals with different experiences.
From the day I started, I felt incredibly welcomed and supportive. No matter how high up in the company someone was they still would give me the time to help me with any questions I had. My team made work fun and enjoyable.
The office itself is great, especially the access to the cafe where free warm drinks are available before 12. The company has a flexible 'dress for your day' dress code, so people can often come in relaxing clothing, although many still prefer business wear
Our managers are highly accessible and make excellent mentors.
Cons
The working hours can be quite demanding
I think everyone, not just PwC, would like to be paid more for what they do and when compared with other graduate roles we are paid to a similar standard.
Time in grade is the main driver for promotion.
The pressure at times to meet deadlines that may not necessarily be that realistic and the billable hour demands.
There should be more formal training programs for technical skills here.
