Pros

I liked the people I worked with. I made some good friends during my time there.

Cons

I was definitely underpaid and overworked. I was an EA, and before me, there were 2 EAs on the team. I was doing the work of two people. When I tried to leave, they tried to counter and increase my wage, but it was too late and wasn't as good of an offer as my new company.

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.
