Pros

I apologize - I cannot honestly think of a single one.

Cons

Poor, poor working conditions - overbright lights, nothing to absorb sound, no privacy, bad building that has continual mold and functioning problems (elevators frequently out - we are forced to take the stairs - okay unless you are on the 10th floor). Really really inexperienced management (turnover is so high that our EVP of HR was an admin just a couple of years ago).

Pros

Internal Audit has a fun, young team so it is sociable and most people are friendly and want to be helpful. The head office is in a nice part of London.

Cons

Management is not interested in developing teams or being strategic, always a tactical fix! Not a particularly well respected name in FS. Audits are poorly managed and drag on for longer than they should as the scope always grows at random. Have to spend long stretches away from home without good reason.

Pros

Aren't a lot of budget or time constraints. Normal operations will take however long they will take and cost whatever it will cost. But if there is a huge deal on the line, then it is a "deliver at all costs" mentality. They'll bring in lunch & dinner to keep the machine going.

Cons

Immature with processes & procedure. High rate of change and resource attrition. Short-term planning because goals seem to change every other day.
