Pros

Flexible work arrangements (not for work-life balance, to coordinate with US people) - can be considered as con really. Can work from home when necessary (if the manager likes you) To be honest it's tough to come up with list of pro

Cons

(US) Management not in touch with employees directly and not aware of managers who misuse their power. Work-Life balance is worst in few depts; Work hours exceeds 12 hours everyday. Few worst managers make the work place hell. Beware! They does no work, but they turn down co-managers good idea's simply to pull their legs down. They lie, manipulate or engage in nasty politics. Please beware and move to different area/manager before (its too late) you became victim of disgusting game. Consultants & Employees staying longer form network to get rid of new talented people if you are qualified than them. Few support staffs are irresponsible and treat employees poorly, since they report to someone else in US (not local) and being there from the beginning. Have to wait too long for promotions, while devious people gets promoted easily. Yes boss type people can enjoy here, the most creative people can't survive. HR dump you with the lowest salary if you don't negotiate well.

Pros

Internal Audit's work is meaningful and provides strong exposure across risk, technology and operations. Audits tend to focus on areas that truly matter from a regulatory and risk perspective, so you're not just checking boxes. There is a genuinely strong team culture. Colleagues are competent, collaborative, and willing to help, with a good mix of experience levels that make it a solid environment for learning. There is also clear investment in employee development. Managers often have regular career discussions, and there are ongoing efforts around training, including newer areas like AI tools and capabilities. Recognition is present, and people are generally acknowledged for strong performance. Overall, it's a strong place to build audit fundamentals, gain exposure to innovation initiatives, and develop credibility within financial services / internal audit.

Cons

Internal Audit's workload is consistently high, not just during peak periods. It's common to juggle multiple audits with overlapping deadlines, alongside continuous monitoring and other responsibilities, which can make it difficult at times. Processes can be very documentation heavy and sometimes feel rigid, which is expected in a highly regulated environment but can reduce efficiency. A significant amount of time can go into formatting, reviewing and aligning work papers to methodology. Some workflows remain manual, which adds to the overall pressure and limit efficiency.
