Pros
Free coffee, travel (helps you make good hotel and airline points), and okay pay & benefits
Cons
Management should take full ownership of their roles and responsibilities. This includes understanding how to audit and work effectively with the team. Management spends their time on meetings with other functions leads to discuss org risks but no action is taken, such a waste of time. There’s a massive gap in efforts and Directors seem to be so lazy. There should be an equitable distribution of effort across all levels on the team. Senior auditors and ADs should not be the only ones carrying the workload. Directors are incompetent and don’t know how to balance their time between meetings and hands-on involvement with the team. Management lacks leadership and ability to manage and maintain positive relationships with team members. Decisions on what to audit are based on what we are told by others within the org and not our independent assessment. Management doesn’t seem to have an idea why there are audits listed on the audit plan. The seniors have to always go through a scoping exercise to educate management and not vice verse. The IA’s culture is getting stressful and overwhelming, this is causing anxiety and burnout amongst the team. People either stope caring much and do the bare minimum or think to leave. There’s also a lot of drama on the team and people compete against each other.
