Audit Senior (Former Employee) – Sindh – 12 March 2018
I had completed my training period from A. F. Ferguson & Co., Chartered Accountants (a member firm of Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP). Working with the Firm, I have had an opportunity of being involved in various engagements for medium to large organisations thereby enriching my expertise and understanding. This exposure to a wide spectrum of clients with a variety of work experience has provided me with an insider view of the key business processes within an organisation, risk management procedures, accounting and internal control systems, corporate governance and regulatory as well as accounting framework of a variety array of industries. Furthermore, the experience as both a team member and later on as a team leader acquainted me to the significance of management abilities and decision making and problem solving tactics.
Pros
Variety of challenging assignments
Cons
Short deadlines

Intern (Former Employee) – Cork – 1 September 2017
One of the best employers out there. People make the place. Amazing team and a great learning experience. The work - life balance is spot on. Even if you have to work sometimes over time all the extra hours can be transferred as free days. If the salary will be a little more competitive I would not find any fault with this company.

Senior Associate (Former Employee) – One Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1 – 27 November 2013
What I enjoyed most about my 3 years in PwC, was that what I learnt on one audit could be transferred and used on other audits. I was able to transfer previous experiences to the next audit.
I was lucky enough to work in a broad range of sectors including:
- Pharmaceutical
- Transportation
- Education
- Food
- Electric
- Technology
I audited the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet for a number of clients across a broad range of industry sectors.
