Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Seeking Insights on the CAS department

Hi all,

A recruiter recently reached out to me regarding several openings within the CAS (audit) team, and I have a couple of interviews scheduled this week. I’ve read mixed reviews about the company overall, and since I’m currently at a company with very low morale and employee engagement, I’m hoping to get more insight into what it’s like within CAS.

  • How is the work-life balance here?
  • What’s management like in terms of support and communication?
  • How would you describe the overall team culture?
  • Are there any notable expectations or challenges to be aware of?
  • Any advice for someone considering joining the CAS team?

I’d really appreciate any thoughts or experiences you all could possibly share.

Thank you!

JW is a nightmare to work for. She is truly the worst. Run if it’s with her.

Lots of solid teams but also a couple toxic people in leadership. Some good leaders that I want to replace the toxic ones.

Echoing another post. It depends which team you get assigned to. The pay range in that department seems to be lower than other risk departments too.

Despite the fact that CAS is awful, it never has layoffs.

If you actually come up with a legitimate finding in CAS, your manager won’t support you and will likely allow you to get bullied by business lines. Happens all the time.

Seems like a lot of the CAS issues that are opened are simply to justify their existence. I have yet to see them actually reduce risk.

Current CAS employee here. It depends on which team you get on, some are really great, but some recent adds to the leadership have made for a toxic environment and burned out employees on several teams.
If you’re not a manager or above, they treat you as a replaceable drone.
Leadership seems dead-set on making processes more complicated with more levels of review as time goes on, rather than adopting the whole simplicity thing.
Scheduling and resource allocation is a mess.
They’re cutting billable hours to make efficiency look good but requiring just as much work to get done.

Everyone in the bank outside of CAS hates CAS.

They have all the empathy and warmth of an interrogation squad in a prisoner of war camp.

Sorry! This might not be the forum :/. This is the layoff group and many are working n the process of being laid off, or have fears that it’s coming.
