Client meetings, speaking with the frontline team regarding client files, administrative work
It will vary depending upon what department/business unit you are in. However in my circumstance I am an Graduate/Analyst; my daily task involve morning emails, attending to applications and strategy papers, lots of meetings, some longer one rife with information or short ones to provide updates. Then after a lunch with the team it is back into credit writing. Then finishing off the day with emails. There is always time for a coffee run with the team and some good quality banter.
My role involves balancing business and customer needs in innovative and strategic ways. Day to day, I work on projects that involve uplifting certain aspects of the CBA App. I also work towards my graduate development goals to ensure I make the most out of this experience.

A brighter beginning for your career.
Work-life balance and culture.
The vast amount of opportunities in the field of technology can help you upskill and keep motivated.
The people at CBA are extremely welcoming and talented.
Flexible working style and arrangements.
Clear investment in the technology area. This supports graduates in this area significantly.
As the company has the head office in Sydney, most of the teams are located there. If you are based in other cities, you may not have anyone in your team around you.
There is a level of competitiveness I find specifically in the Grad program cohort.
Limited career progression.
The over-importance of networking. You may not get as far as being 100% your authentic self.
With CBA being such a large organization, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the ecosystem and find the right person who can help.
