Senior Manager
Sep 2025Melbourne VIC 3000Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
A big career mistake!
The good thingsParental leave, 9 day fortnight, office infrastructure
The challengesZero transparent process where employees can raise workplace concerns and seek help. People who raise concern regarding workplace environment and leadership style are pushed out instead of giving them a fair chance to move to other leadership team and perform. No environment of psychological safety and zero opportunity to work independently and manage client service delivery. Partner expect employees to be mind readers and work exactly how the partner expects with zero direction. It is a my way or highway leadership style. Employees are often judged, not trusted and assumed that they are liars and don't have integrity.

Toxic workplace. Worst career experience to date.
The good thingsSome of the people & benefits
The challengesToxic and uninspiring leaders who only value budgets and employees who are willing to sacrifice all aspects of their life for Grant Thornton. People that are not willing to do this get pushed out, publicly criticised and compared to other team members. Boast about having benefits (e.g. 9 day fortnight) to lure people in but in reality leaders do not want employees to work 9 day fortnights due to their obsession with budgets. No flexibility. Far worse culture than competitor firms. Minimal prospects for career progression / success unless you are willing to do the job of two people for average pay. Anyone that is
