Pros

Nothing. The worst job experience I’ve ever had

Cons

Everyone is literally miserable all the time because KPMG underpays and expects all employees to be constantly working. They don’t care about employee retention and view all employees as replaceable. Almost all the people I’ve started with have moved onto other jobs.

Pros

Working for KPMG looks great on resumes. KPMG company leadership values employees and offers many perks from vacation to discounts on cars & electronics.

Cons

Senior Leadership in Strategic Sourcing and Procurement shows lack of respect for employees and is condescending to staff in meetings. KPMG is known for alternate work arrangements which is not granted to staff. Different rules apply to different people. Leadership has showed "everyone is disposible" by firing 20% of staff and hiring Contractors with the same titles the SAME day. Staff keep boxes under their desks in anticipation of being "let go." Work load is unevenly distributed. Ideas and concerns voiced by staff are not entertained nor addressed. No common direction or communication when it comes to advising business teams. Department is heavily micromanaged.

Pros

There are good people here, but they don't stay long

Cons

System allows bad actors to make it to the top, focus on revenue without adding client value isn't a winning proposition, turning a blind eye to legal and ethical violations will catch up with the firm, providing employee benefits on paper to make the "best places to work surveys" but having managers limit their actual use is a terrible practice
