Pros
I had worked as a risk manager for other companies before, but I have never enjoyed my tasks so much as I did when working for One Two Trade. I had pretty substantial work load, but working was interesting and challenging. My major duties were to advise One Two Trade on any potential risks to its profitability. I also did identification and assessment threats. I also put plan in place in case something goes wrong. It was up to me to decide how to avoid, reduce, and transfer risks. In addition to managing the risk to One Two Trade, I was also responsible for managing the risk to One Two Trade’s employees, customers, and reputation. My areas of specialization at One Two Trade were regulatory and operational risk, information and security risk, and market and credit risk. Taking care of these different types of risks, I planned, designed, and implemented an overall risk management process for One Two Trade. I identified and estimated risks affecting the company’s business. I also qualified its risk appetite and discussed with my bosses the level of risks they were ready to accept. I also regularly reported risk to them and to other employees so that they knew risks relevant to their parts and understood their responsibility for them. I addition, I was implementing health and safety measures and making business continuity plans. I also often gave training to One Two Trade staff so that they became aware of various risks within One Two Trade Company. Apart from variable, interesting tasks that I was performing during my employment at One Two Trade, I liked the management of the company. The directors were sharp and knew their respective fields very well. They always managed to come up with useful, helpful advises that were always also to the point. However busy my managers were, they always could find time to discuss risk problems in our company. They were also highly appreciative of the work my team and I were doing, just as they appreciated the work of all employees in the company in general. I think one of the reasons why the company is going to prosper in the future is its good, clever management. I learned a lot from One Two Trade’s managers and will implement what I have learned from them when I become self-employed and open my own consultancy.
Cons
I did not find many demerits in One Two Trade. Basically, I was pleased with everything. My office could have been more lighted and more visually pleasant than it was, but these are very small things that, by no means, made my work unpleasant.
