Pros

- Good system of support in place for your voice to be heard (executive advisor and career advisor). You need to persistent in talking to these advisors to get your needs met. Just like you, they are very busy in their role and if you are not persistent with your career needs, they will not be addressed. It'll feel repetitive and annoying to do, but you need to consistently bring up your needs to management. - Great people! The office is full of nice people that I'd be happy to hang out with outside of work. - Paternity and maternity leave were just upped from 1 week/4 weeks respectively to 10 weeks for both.

Cons

- Difficult to obtain a true variety of work. The SLC office is heavily audit-based with a large pool of SOX work. Some of the "variety" that is offered is not vastly different than the SOX work done by most employees. - Foundations program does not appear to be offering a true variety of work for its members. It is meant to give exposure to a variety of different solutions, but SLC foundations program members have only been on SOX projects. - The benefits are not great (i.e. health, 401k). They may be industry standard, I'm not sure about that, but they are still not great.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
