Case Studies

  • Name: Joshua Fisher
  • Role: PA Consulting Group’s IT practice
  • Joined: July 2012
  • University: University of Reading
  • Degree: Information Technology

What’s your current role and why did it appeal to you?

I’m an analyst in IT Delivery (ITDB), which is part of the broader IT Group. ITD works collaboratively alongside customers to understand their real business need. We implement tailored solutions that help drive the customer’s unique business strategy.

Why PA?

I was reassured that I’d be able to pursue the roles I know I enjoy, but that I’d also have the opportunity to explore unfamiliar areas, such as project management and coding development. The firm is interested in your personal development, so it offers lots of on-going training courses in addition to the graduate training courses everyone receives when they join.

What’s the best thing about your job?

The variety of work is what I enjoy most. In six months I’ve worked for a number of companies in different market sectors, and also in different roles – from project manager to developer. The ability to do something different with every project is very exciting.

Training & Profiles

We are looking for people who show quality, integrity and commitment. The combination is rare, but if you have it, you will want to be part of an organisation where others have it too.

There are a number of qualities which distinguish a PA Analyst from others. To work at PA, you have to be confident and assertive. You must be able to drive your own development and push yourself forward for projects.
