Salary at Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

There are no bonuses at my organization. I believe I could be working in a private firm for a lot higher pay, but I would be less likely to have the benefit of a good work life balance.

The pay is reasonable - not as high as you would expect working in the private sector but certainly a large improvement from student life. The EA provides for a transparent and fair pay and position progression. Staff do not receive bonuses.

Pay at the junior level is very good, but it doesn't increase as fast as the private sector as you progress in your career.

Pay is generous but perhaps not as much as the private sector.

We can apply for study allowance.

We don't get anything for free because the organisation is very careful to maintain a position of impartiality (being the public sector). But the people are great and the culture's pretty good.

A true commitment to flexibility, plus generous leave allowances. Apart from that there are relatively few 'perks' per se.
