At EY/DT, expect to manage numerous IA engagements, up to 5, even at the associate level. They have recently split their engagements & managers by sector, resulting in specialization. If you are placed in a sector you prefer, great. Otherwise, it can be challenging and you will sulk working for the same people over and over again. Expect a year-round peak workload.

For KPMG, they have the best Worklife balance and I would say has the best life among the B4 internal audit. However, they do not secure as many engagement compared to other B4 as they are not that aggressive in low balling. However, getting an offer from KPMG might be challenging due to their smaller client base.

Hope you find it useful!
EY has numerous different internal audit department.
As far as i know, they do not manage 5 engagements, except you are managers.
Associates and senior manage 1 to 2 engagements only.

But the main issue is the back logs and delays. For example, you are in engagement B currently, but you are following up on engagement A and doing up the report etc.

Nevertheless, life is still better than external audit.
