The Role
The workload has varied considerably along with the pressure of meeting deadlines. Sometimes the pressure can be difficult to cope with.
I feel as thought most of the work i do is needed.
The team and management are very supportive and helpful.
The workload varies, sometimes I have more work than i can handle, other times I have little to do.
I have been responsible for areas of audit testing and other aspects of th audit at hand.
This year has been a very steep learning curve, hoever I feel I have accomplished alot and develoepd skills as a result.
The Company
It is a fairly relaxed and pleasent environment.
There were a few problems with system access when i first arrived, but that was soon rectified.
I feel i have been invested in to the point of adding value to the department.
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
I would like to try working somewhere else. but would not be adverse to returning.
The Culture
Yes, there are approx 60 other placements.
Cherster is quite an expensive place to live, but the salary was reasonable to accomodate this.
Chester has quite a poor nightlife scene.
There were opportunities there if people wanted.
