OIOS - Resident Auditor

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Some of the people you work with are very knowledgeable and cooperative. In addition, some of the assignments offer an opportunity to make meaningful improvements to Mission operations and its success.

Cons

Terrible work environment. Its very difficult to get promoted or transferred to a better duty station. Although the espoused goal of OIOS Audit is to "improve the Organization's risk management, control and governance processes", in practice, staff are pushed to magnify errors and come up with as many "critical" recommendations as possible. Little is done to work with Mission management to find ways of improving operations and ensure efficient and effective mandate implementation. Many of the staff are also either incompetent or unmotivated
