Pros

Used to have great work benefits and work life balance when business was great

Cons

Very political, family business like environment. Upper management plays favourite, people with connections stays without performing while others get redundant. Management do not support wellbeing, force people OT even when we are sick. Salary is not justified. Drag on promotion and doesn’t provide appropriate training when requested.

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.
