Founded in 2016, Escient is a business and digital consultancy firm with a purpose to help shape the future for organisations, people and planet.
Generous flexible working policies
Nothing out of the ordinary. We do get 4% savings in gift cards that a lot of people use for Coles or Woolworths. We get team lunches approximately once a month.
Compared to other graduate programs, I think ours is pretty good. In the grand scheme of things, I think it is alright. The base salary is pretty good and on top of that we get professional allowances (for technology purchases as it is a BYOD and memberships).
I was very satisfied with the pay for a graduate consultant level, but it was a bit disappointing to see how small the pay increase was to go to a consultant level at the end of the graduate year. Overall it seems that Escient isn't the highest paying, but I think there are plenty of perks that come with working here that make up for that (e.g. investment in training, social activities). We don't have bonuses.
