How did you end up in Liberty IT?

"After my degree, I started my career with a commercial bank in England. I spent three years there as a contractor before deciding to look for a more permanent role as I wanted stability, both financially and career-wise. I had a look at opportunities in the market and was drawn to LIT right from the outset, so I was very pleased to have been given the opportunity to work here."

Why did you accept the offer?

"Looking at LIT and other global companies, LIT stands out. I could see my career progressing very well, and at LIT there is also with a balance between work and family life. I had more than one offer, but I chose LIT, and so far I am enjoying my choice."

How did you settle in?

"It couldn't be better! I started in February and was offered a relocation allowance, which really helped as I am from England and did not know anyone in Northern Ireland. I was also assigned a mentor to show me around, and have been attending orientation sessions which provide me with further business knowledge. People are very nice and approachable, and every day is fun because of that."

What are you working on now?

"I am working as part of team testing and supporting an insurance claim processing platform for Liberty Mutual, our parent company in the US. The technology within the apps is varied (JAVA, SQL, UNIX, XML, VB etc.), which means I am working with top technologies and learning a lot every day."

What do you like best about working in Liberty IT?

"I like the training, varied role, and challenges that exist within the project - which means I always have plenty to do. I also like the friendly atmosphere where people interact without barriers."
