Always varied at work and responded to new work coming in, writing proposals, presenting work to a client or managing a team to deliver a turnaround programme in a healthcare organisation.

The hardest part of the job was travelling around the country at short notice.

Ernst and Young is a terrific place to work. I would enjoy working there again.
Executive Assistant (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – March 17, 2013
Pros: good salary, benefits, people and atmosphere.
Cons: the copy room was in another location, hard to leave without getting phone coverage. male dominated field with only one female partner.
A typical day at work was a quiet, professional environment with a nice group of smart, professionals. I was the administrative assistant for the Corporate Finance department where I reported to the Director and assisted him and also four-five managers. I answered the phone, took messages or transferred calls, typed contracts and correspondence and – more... emails. I managed the file room and the library, made airline reservations and learned how to work on spreadsheets. Management was always professional, fair, and met with us weekly as a team and one-on-one on occasion. Everyone I worked for and with was professional and nice. The hardest part of the job was when it got hectic making and changing airline reservations while our team was travelling and plans changed. I enjoyed the work and most of all, the people. – less

Workplace
Support Engineer (Former Employee), Infopark, Cochin , Kerala India – March 15, 2013
Pros: free snacks
Cons: urgent calls
My workplace was very comfortable for me. I use to come at office always at time, had a cup of tea, will greet my team mates and will start with checking up of my mails and confirming that i have done all my duties.
I will then start my work with my regular duties.
My team was very much co-operative and helpful. I would discuss with my team mates if – more... any urgent matter or issue arises.
We are also handling calls through which we would get certain number of tasks to get completed.
Meetings will be there with our team leads where we discuss our work improvements and drawbacks.
The hardest part of the job will be when a sudden issue arises and it should be completed within the day.
Working with a wonderful supporting team made each and every day as the most enjoyable day of my life. – less
