Pros

When I first started it was a decent place to work, but as time rolled on, I understood why must people have a life span there of 3-5 years. (Hell the guy I took over for didn't make it 5 years!) My co-workers were great to work with on my immediate team, but with in the TEAM as a whole (TRM) there was a bunch of resentment. The Directors did not get along, the director in the other group was promoted a few years back and no one can really understand why? He does not do anything, he hardly shows up, and seems to have unlimited PTO. Even though his group is suppose to be technically part of ours. Im pretty sure he has something hanging over someone, to still be employed there! *The pay is not bad, benefits are decent. if Audit was informed on some of the things I was TOLD to do, I am pretty sure some heads would roll. Management is pretty much the weak link at DTCC, no backbone to stand up to other managers. Its really sad, as they CONTINUE to lose great talent!

Cons

They say the WFH program is "Very Liberal" until you acutely use it. Then they want you in the office. When I was hired, I was hired to do a job which I did well for 5 years. Then Management gets a "bee in their bonnet" about how EVERYONE should get AWS certifications! yet, NOTHING in production runs in the CLOUD! SMFH.

Pros

Internal Audit's work is meaningful and provides strong exposure across risk, technology and operations. Audits tend to focus on areas that truly matter from a regulatory and risk perspective, so you're not just checking boxes. There is a genuinely strong team culture. Colleagues are competent, collaborative, and willing to help, with a good mix of experience levels that make it a solid environment for learning. There is also clear investment in employee development. Managers often have regular career discussions, and there are ongoing efforts around training, including newer areas like AI tools and capabilities. Recognition is present, and people are generally acknowledged for strong performance. Overall, it's a strong place to build audit fundamentals, gain exposure to innovation initiatives, and develop credibility within financial services / internal audit.

Cons

Internal Audit's workload is consistently high, not just during peak periods. It's common to juggle multiple audits with overlapping deadlines, alongside continuous monitoring and other responsibilities, which can make it difficult at times. Processes can be very documentation heavy and sometimes feel rigid, which is expected in a highly regulated environment but can reduce efficiency. A significant amount of time can go into formatting, reviewing and aligning work papers to methodology. Some workflows remain manual, which adds to the overall pressure and limit efficiency.
