Not the right culture for me - Audit Associate KPMG Employee Review

Being idle is rewarded, so long as you show face at your client. I tried to leave before 9pm after they ran out of work for me to do, and was penalized for it. The people who work here sadly think that this is normal. Work/life balance isn't in their vocabulary. I once asked for an example of work/life balance and my interviewer told me that the company let him take off to see his wife in labor. If he was thankful for that time off, what's the point of having a kid? But I'm sure he'll make a good living. I'd rather live my life and be a little less wealthy than eat dinner at the office for 10 months of the year.
