The Role
We had an induction week to get us to know the firm with an introduction to accounting. All other training on was the job
Sometimes I would have nothing to do for a few days and would sit on the internet or play scrabble
Not doing a relevant degree
The Company
People were friendly, got on with them, social events were quite regular
Subsidised Canteen
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
Don't think audit is for me
The Culture
We socialised after work and over the weekend.
Living in London on the salary was a struggle
It's London, but make sure you go to the clubs you want to go to, I ended up in the west end a lot...which wasn't for me
