PJP is a great place to work: Great people; Interesting
problems; Valuable development opportunities. I have been working
here for just over a year and the work is still fresh and
interesting; No two weeks are ever the same.
In the past, I have spent a lot of time asking my
friends "why does that happen?", or "what do you think about this
for a business?" I am happy to have found a job that pays me to ask
those questions on a daily basis.
Opportunities to deliver material impact for top-tier
clients
There is something quite special about being in a meeting with
the strategy team of a major oil and gas company and hearing the
head of strategy say "wow...that's interesting".
I really like being part of a team that adds value to top-tier
companies through the analysis that we do. In particular, I like
the way that our analytical abilities combine with our clients' own
expertise, and together we work to generate insights about their
company or the industry that they are in. To have made a tangible
contribution to that process is exciting and motivates me to
continue giving my all to my work.
A priceless development experience that is tailored to you
On the Friday morning of my very first week I was sitting at a
table with two PJP partners, an associate, and the CEO and CFO of
one of Australia's iconic apparel companies. Everyone at the table
was poring over a chart that I had put together that week. I took a
deep breath… but everything was fine.
Working in small teams in PJP, your contribution is valued and
important. This is extremely beneficial for your personal
development. You quickly learn what your strengths and weaknesses
are and, with the support of your team, have the opportunity to
show off your skills, and work on your weaknesses to improve as an
analyst.
Close-knit, familial culture
I enjoy coming to work each day because we have a great group of
people working here and are a pleasure to be around. We also enjoy
regular social events outside of work.
Outside interests
I spend my time outside of work either playing sport or with
friends. I am going skiing in February in Japan. I recently have
been watching "Breaking Bad"…It is an excellent show. My new year's
resolution is to get a six pack… I have had minimal success to
date.
