      I really believe that Ade wants to make this an amazing place to work.

      Svantaggi

      Absolutely toxic audit environment, led by management. If your face doesn’t fit you are tortured daily about not being “CP enough.” Nothing to do with the quality of work. All about personality and leadership then treat you terribly as a result. There is nothing about celebrating each individual. Conformity is expected, any negative opinion is not tolerated. Absolutely terrible impact on mental health when you aren’t liked simply for who you are. Allowing senior management to bully staff with no way to seek help through fear of being told “you aren’t CP enough.” Being sworn at by my department head. Being asked if as a woman I wanted such a challenging job as a had a child. Blatant sexism-one comment after seeing a female employee for the first time “well her picture offered a lot but she didn’t deliver.” Ask any ex employee and they will tell you it’s a cult. Wait for the deluge of positive reviews after this one (on the weekly calls staff are asked to complete review whenever bad ones appear to drown them out. Usually completed by the new trainees doing it under pressure.

      I am truly saddened to read your review of your experience at CP. What you have described is not the culture that we are passionate about building. We have reviewed our leavers exit interviews of the past 18 months and cannot find any feedback that mirrors this, I appreciate however that if you were feeling this way, you may not have wanted to discuss this at the time. I am keen for us to learn from your experience in the hope that nobody leaves Cooper Parry feeling this way again. I would ask for you to reach out to me so that we can have a conversation about your feedback and so that I can remedy some of the areas you have mentioned. The feedback we receive from our people in exit interviews , weekly happiness scores and engagement surveys are not leaning towards a culture as you described, however even one experience like this is not acceptable to us. We put a huge amount of focus on supporting working parents and promoting a flexible working culture, but there is always more we can do to make life working at CP compliment life outside of work. Please do give me a call to chat through your feedback further. April - Chief People Officer

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Building an environment where our people can feel motivated and enjoy their time at work is important to us, so we are glad to hear you have been able to experience that during your contract. Whilst work-life balance is something that we strive towards, we appreciate during busy times the flexibility can be hard to reach. We are continuing to look at ways to increase the flexibility when possible and if you would like to talk things through, we are always happy to support in finding ways to increase that balance. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us, in person, over email or anonymously through open door. Many thanks, CP Talent Acquisition team careers@cooperparry.com

      - Flexible working - Supportive coworkers

      Svantaggi

      The business is not quite as I remember it when I first joined. The private equity ownership has created a working environment has become much more pressured, with almost every level feeling constantly on edge. Managers often appear to be stretched across a very high number of audits, while Assistant Managers are also balancing several engagements at once. This has resulted in people being spread too thin, with work regularly extending into evenings and, at times, weekends. The recent change in audit software has also created challenges. While the business is placing greater emphasis on efficiency and recovery, the new workflow appears to have increased the amount of work required in practice. As a result, recovery rates often appear unrealistic when compared against the actual time and effort needed to complete the work properly. There also seems to be room for improvement in how juniors are trained and supported. In addition, the promotion pipeline feels quite congested, with a number of people remaining in the same roles for longer than expected. Overall, in its current state, it is difficult to see many clear upsides, and I would find it hard to confidently recommend the business as a place to work.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. The themes you raise around pressure, capacity, ways of working and progression are clearly important, and it’s helpful to understand how these are being felt in practice. Periods of growth, ownership change and system transformation can increase complexity and intensity, and there will inevitably be times where the work feels more pressured than anyone would ideally want. Your comments highlight where that pressure has been most visible, particularly around resourcing, workload stretch and how efficiency expectations translate day to day. These are ongoing tensions we recognise within a professional services environment. Your observations around training, development and progression visibility are also noted. Supporting people at different career stages during times of change isn’t always straightforward, and experiences can differ across teams and roles. If you’re open to it, we’d encourage you to raise these points directly with your Senior HR Business Partner or leadership team, including via the anonymous feedback channels if preferred. These conversations help add context and depth to individual perspectives. Thank you again for sharing your views so openly.
