Overview
I had to complete Casting & Consistency work within the Audit Support Hub, working closely with the team.
Skills
Excel skills, communication and presentation skills.
Responsibilities
Not particularly , the role was very monotonous with no project work or room for differentiation.
Support & Guidance
Support and guidance was nearly always there whenever I needed it and my managers and colleagues were generally very helpful.
Culture
A very warming culture which everyone wants to be a part of which values the wellbeing of colleagues.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the people I met and soft skills I learnt, however the work was not at all what I was expecting and very disappointing.
Yes
Make sure you know the difference between SSC and other offices, as they are not the same and your work experience will differ largely.
