Pros and cons of internal audit in big 4 ?
Definitely should be a concern. Very unprofessional behavior
Huge red flag
Said he was lazy and not ambitious and should have been fired 10 years ago because he's too old to still be a senior accountant. Controller is new to the company and ex B4 senior manager and he's clearing house and hiring all PA ppl. Position and pay are good I'm just a little concerned with his attitude towards his employees.
Lol @ making millions
Should this be cause for concern?
@RSM1 My thoughts exactly. Although he assured me that if I'm motivated to learn I'll be fine and his current staff are in their 40's and can barely learn excel and refuse to get better. Doesn't make what he said right. I didn't need to know that much detail.
Contrarian point of view: he trusts you and is giving you the heads up that these people are incompetent and there will be a restructuring. He has come in with a fresh point of view and recognized weaknesses in the environment, but he needs to onboard new people before fully cleaning house. You will become his confidant and make millions.
Sounds like you already know not to take it. Good luck.
Okay, serious question: you're the new controller at a company. You know the people are bad, but you also know that you don't know enough to run the show solo. You have to temporarily increase headcount, onboard people to perform the existing jobs, and then fire the others. Do you tell the new people they'll be training under someone who is getting fired? Do you tell everyone and risk losing all the experience before you can replace them?
This guy sounds like an ageism suit waiting to happen
Yea that's an awful fucking attitude to have, do not work there. Plenty of smart professional and BETTER ex-public personnel to work for. I would have honestly ended the interview myself if he was calling his employees "unmotivated" and other crap
Lmfao
Maybe you'll be next?
Gtfo
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle between audit senior 1 and sfa1. Up to you whether you want to take a chance on this guy. If he doesn't follow thorough with the restructuring won't you be annoyed at both his attitude and knowing you work with a bunch of lazy coworkers?
