Pros

Free tea & coffee Clean modern office (not reflected by building which in my opinion is a waste of money). Would say free fruit but this is normally hoarded by individuals, to supplement their meals as soon as it arrives. So makes it a joke!

Cons

Too political driven by US senior managers. Senior management on site are ineffective, just do what they are told from US, they have no backbone to support their teams on site. Leave difficult messages to be delivered by managers. US staff treated differently to UK staff, it is seen time and time over were US staff have made mistakes and these are swept under the carpet. Where Wrexham staff are put on performance plans. Employee survey a joke - major excuse for immature staff to have a go at what/who ever they feel like at the time. No progression, and limited development as no experience on site to any degree. Poor training for level of responsibility expected from work allocated. No training manuals or qualified trainers. SME’s give you different answers every time you ask. Antiquated systems due to lack of investment- reliant on spreadsheets and databases as sticking plasters. Different rules for rewards and promotions depending on who is your manager! Managers who work from home more than they are in the office and leave the running of their teams to TL’s as not interested in role. And DTC wonder why staff leave - anyone decent they get rid of! Would not recommend working in Wrexham if you are looking for a long term career.

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.
