Pros

5 weeks of PTO at start - some areas can work from home if the manager likes you To be honest it's tough to come up with 20 words as a pro

Cons

Very clickish. Everything is based on friends. It's mediocrity breeds mediocrity in practice. There are 5 levels, MD, ED, Director, Manager and everyone else. Takes average of 5+ years to move to the next level. The higher up you go the longer it takes. Unless of course you are related somehow to the higher ups. Big focus on recruiting young and move the seasoned workers out to save money. Critically strapped economically. Cannot afford to invest in people but can afford manual processes that raise regulator eyebrows. If you are not related to an MD your time will be better spent elsewhere.

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.
