Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Cooper Parry?
It's been great - as a company to come in to as a graduate, I couldn't recommend it enough. Everyone was and continues to be very welcoming, and supportive in my development
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy working directly with clients - recently, for example, I have started working on a client site. It's nice to change it up slightly rather than just being in the office.

A lot is expected at times with work and study - I knew this when I signed up though

5/5
Very sociable, office is usually lively, stuff like pool table and darts board are good for socialising
How would you rate Cooper Parry initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?

5/5

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Cooper Parry to a friend?
Yes
Why?
CP is a very modern employer, offers a lot of support and development and has very flexible working arrangements which I like - you're not expected to be in the office from a solid 9-5 every day
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
4/5
I thought there may have been more client interaction, but this is also likely partially due to my misinterpretation of the JD
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Cooper Parry?
Be confident - that's what makes you stand out
