To senior staff and internal auditors, I'm curious about the average number of review comments you typically receive during a SOX cycle. Additionally, I'd like to know your opinion on whether you perceive these comments as fair assessments or more like nitpicking based on the reviewers' preferences. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Once you know a manager well enough, you should be able to interpret and project what they want. I finished 35 ITAC controls. My manager had 6 comments over those 35 controls. Why? We’ve worked together now for 2 years I know exactly what he’s going to ask me for. I just do it and save everyone time in this process

What do you mean by sox cycle?

I agree with S1. It’s a waste of time and completely inefficient to have staff go back and fix it. The better way is to just fix the small stuff and let them know after as to what mistakes they made. Petty review comments appear to be a pervasive issue in the industry.

I’ve had over 400 comments since this audit I’m on started in October - nit-picky comments - all other audits I’m on I don’t get many

Also my director literally is ridiculous and the entire team knows she leaves comments for no reason

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
