KPMG reviews

*Management: Some toxic individuals and traits persist, leading to a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” mentality (see below for details). PLs and Partners tend to almost always prioritize revenue growth over staff wellbeing, which can be expected in a corporate environment, but it increases the risk of burnout. Good people leadership can be in short supply at times, leading to mistrust and miscommunication at times. Some Directors/Senior Managers treat and describe their staff as “resources” that can be removed or added at a moment’s notice, with absolutely no regard whatsoever for you as a person, your goals or priorities. *Lack of organization and constant restructuring and cost cutting: low investment in professional qualifications and ongoing professional development, low emphasis on fostering good team dynamics or leadership/people development

- incredibly toxic work culture that permeates from the top down - senior managers who go behind your back and throw you under the bus with partners to disguise their own incompetence - if you’re in audit, they will sell you the opportunity to do rotations in other groups, but in reality the highly sought after advisory roles are extremely competitive and managers have no problem clawing you back on their audit files during your rotation - there have been at least four emergency meetings over the past six months to discuss retention and ways to improve the culture, with no real or concrete pathway for achieving this - this speaks to how toxic the culture is and perhaps an overhaul of the manager group is warranted
