Pros

Was just a 9-5 job that you could come in, do and leave. Some of the other lower minions were nice

Cons

Toxic culture whereby the American colleagues were at the top and people in the Wrexham office were paid very poorly and overworked. Management didn't see staff as people and were not at all understanding about illness. People were forced to work extra hours when a glut of new clients came into being and multiple people left with RSI from crazy high targets. If you did not hit these targets then you were warned and then fired. Middle management were mainly people in their early- to mid-twenties who didn't have enough life experience to be sensible or flexible. Very high turnover because people get fed up of the nonsense.

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.
