Pros

Small company feel where everyone knows your name. Generally good people and interesting projects. Good bonus structure.

Cons

Used to be great but the current CTO is not qualified for her position, very rude and condescending in meetings, micro manages things she does not understand and the company had moved into a period where the media coverage and image of being a champion for women in IT has become more important than the stability, performance, innovation, or the moral of staff. Employee survey results are largely being ignored in that context. Articles and social media posts from top executives can be found published which even show how DTCC has committed to promote or hire more women then men.

At DTCC, we are committed to internal mobility and employee career development. In some instances, as any other organization, we may need to hire externally for specific skillsets. We’re proud that our April 2022 employee engagement scores remain high and above benchmarks, including in our IT department. Across DTCC, we scored well above benchmark in our diversity and inclusion index, which includes considerations for respectful treatment, fairness, inclusion, and equal opportunity. As always, we’ll continue looking for ways to make DTCC a world-class employer that supports our employees and delivers for our clients.

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.
