Pros

The pay is a little above average, benefits were better before they eliminated the pension program, Ability to work from home is a good option

Cons

Finance management says they want open dialog but unless you agree completely with their views you are in the doghouse, so most people say nothing take the abuse and count the hours till the weekend. Building location is in the middle of a wind tunnel from Oct to April, Newport mall is across the street but how many times can you go to the mall before becoming totally bored. A popular MD recently left the company, 99% of the people were hoping one of the other Finance MDs would leave. There is a big time communication gap between the Finance MDs and their reports. Finance is not well respected from outside groups. Some people are sitting around in complete limbo doing absolutely nothing but drawing nice salaries. They let people go without having a backup plan as to who will pick up their work as well as their knowledge. NY metro jobs are being transferred to Dallas and Tampa. Long term employees are hoping for packages and newer employees are looking for opportunities at other companies. The place is a career graveyard.. Should bring back the old CFO, she appears to have a better financial accumen. If you perceive yourself as an up and comer this is definitely not the place to be

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.
