KPMG reviews

Audit teams were typically grossly understaffed. Senior leadership was often poor and without direction. Work life balance was non existent and work expectations did not fall in line with compensation.

I was an experienced hire manager with a mix of big4 and mid size background along with a handful of other experienced hires. All of which left, transferred or are currently miserable. The opportunities for manager level are nil. In 4 busy seasons learning has been non-existent for me. They had no concern to improve this for me. It made my working there miserable not feeling like I mattered or was part of the team. It was not just my view. Any experience hire had similar experience. You will be evaluated on a non big 4 standard due to all of the partners and senior managers being from a small mid size accounting firm. The upper management just do not "get" big 4 and seem to even be against it and think doing work the "Big 4" way is a joking matter. Many people leave here as a result of the attitude towards the staff. Sr. managers, who aren't going anywhere btw, clearly create a bad experience for the lower staff.
