Colleagues leave very quickly, so you can meet many new people
Whatever you do, don’t go to BSI.
The low pay is one thing, but even salaries are paid late. And even if you can put up with late salary payments, transportation, meal, fuel, and toll expenses are not reimbursed until more than two months later.
There is absolutely no training. After just one or two observation sessions, you are sent out to conduct audits.
If you don’t do well in an audit, senior colleagues will chew you out and imply that you are not suited to be an auditor.
On top of that, assignments are scheduled in extremely inconvenient and remote locations. What if the auditor doesn’t have a car???
If you don’t have a car and the site is deep in the mountains, are you supposed to arrive a day early?? You can’t even claim accommodation expenses—how exactly are auditors supposed to get there??
They explicitly say there is self-management and that you don’t need to come into the office when there’s nothing to do, but then every month they send you an attendance sheet and ask you to explain why you didn’t come to the office??
I sincerely advise newcomers who want to pursue auditing: you would be better off gaining experience at another consulting firm than coming to BSI
