Pros
I learned to research executives prior to accepting an offer.
Cons
This is a highly volatile bank. I had no business working there based on my resume. The executives are a joke, namely the CRO and CFO while I was there (I'm sure it's the same considering their pasts/skill sets). Oversight is nonexistent and there is no strategic vision for the company. The regulators wanted qualified individuals to facilitate oversight and leadership did not understand the fallout of hiring high quality auditors. The big 4 is not interested in external audit or co-sourcing internal audit based on reputation and their propensity to turn a blind eye to large issues. McGladery is under-equipped to be issuing an opinion. If you choose to accept a job and are a CPA make sure you have a good lawyer to advise you when you find large issues that the audit committee ignores. Also, females beware.
