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

      Pros

      High pay for no experience, travel if you want it, lots of happy hours if you want them

      Cons

      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.

      Pros

      You get to work with an awesome, highly resilient group of local peers in the advisory practice. The KPMG brand still holds value, but the internal team dynamics have become incredibly fractured.

      Cons

      We have outsourced 80%+ of our Risk Advisory work, leaving onshore seniors with massive gaps in their experience. As a manager, I am stuck doing senior-level work because I typically have only one or zero local seniors or associates on my teams. The best leaders have already resigned because this model prevents actual management and mentoring. Also, it might take you 30+ years to become partner in Risk Advisory, if at all.
