Pros

Decent salary and benefits but raises are puny and benefits get worse every year

Cons

Too many useless layers of management, especially at the top. They are highly paid yet most don't seem to know what they do nor what they bring to the party. The quality of your time at the company is very dependent on who you work for. There are many silos and there is still the good ole boys club still exists. From my experience, the company has gone way down hill over the last decade and beyond. Numerous new management that has come over from the big investment firms have seriously messed up this company. The depth of experience is gone through forced layoffs and should another 9/11 ever hit again, this management team will be ill prepared to deal with it like it was dealt with in 2001. Good luck to us all. Management keep wanting to generate profit through new enterprises yet they are seem to fail. Millions and millions of dollars have been wasted. Strangely, no one at the top is every held accountable and as usual the crap flows south to the troops below.

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.
