Pros

Benefits and Pay tend to be above market for management and higher level positions. In years of working there, salaries have never been cut, even during hard times. Company believes in employee self development and you may find opportunities to train up in areas relavent to your career while working there

Cons

To avoid cutting salaries, the company will lay people off. The firm has become process heavy to the point of suffering from an all "chiefs and no indians" culture. It is enmired in beauracracy to the point where it can be frustrating trying to get anything done and you may lose weeks of full time work chasing down the requests in request systems in an ever changing land scape where what worked 6 months ago does not work now. Though process heavy in terms of process specific teams and systems - you will find there is still no clear cut way to get things done that still applies 6 months down the road and the processes that exist are too many and varied for any single employee to know what the rules are today let alone which ones no longer work because of the constant changes.

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.
