Pros

The Insurance program that it has.

Cons

I was bullied in the workplace. I took all the avenues that I was supposed to take I went to HR I went to the ethics group and nothing has happened. I end up being sick, I lost my hair and I end up really having emotional problems and I eventually resigned from the position. My bully have been with the company for 20+ years and she told me that if I was to go to HR or even to the ethics group that I would be fired. My bully knew everyone and they listened to her. I was at a loss with no one backing me or even trying to help. This could have caused my life. The funny thing about this is that KPMG is not the first accounting firm that I worked for. I’ve worked for the two #1 accounting firms in Chicago, in which I had a great experience. I thought if I worked for KPMG that I would add a great addition to my career endeavors. I ended up with many doctor bills, emotional problems and permanent damages. I quit my former position in the Chicago area as an Executive Assistant. Now others within the Chicago area has been calling me to let me know that she’s going around saying that I was fired. So the bullying has not stopped, she is still bullying me by demeaning my name. I am now forced to take legal action.

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.
