Pros

- Great Benefits (i.e. 401K program, bonus payouts) - Great corporate culture outside of the audit function

Cons

Leadership allows workplace bullying to persist, even after being notified of such instances. The dysfunction, chaos, and political posturing in the function is such that getting clear and concise instruction on how to execute audits is not possible. On a day-to-day basis, you could be taking instruction from as many as 3 or 4 different people whom aren’t your reporting manager.

Pros

Flexible hours and great coworkers

Cons

Workload is annoying and you are basically working harder so audit team can review deals quicker. Slows you down and you are graded on speed + less errors. Horrible training

Pros

Pleasant co-workers, knowledgeable co-workers, good teamwork, community focused, opportunities to do volunteer work, generous vacation time, diversity focused, decent benefits.

Cons

Too many manual processes. The different technology systems don't talk to each other. Some of the tools available to perform certain functions are inadequate or unreliable (i.e. Excel spreadsheets for tracking). Veteran employees are too comfortable with the manual processes and don't seem to be open to changing a process or making a process better. The noisy work culture interferes with productivity.
