KPMG reviews

*You quickly realize you're merely an underpaid slave. I switched to industry with an 11k raise. They will take advantage of your negotiating skills when you're a fresh grad. *Turnover is insane so you had to be prepared to "pick up the slack" *Higher ups gush about the "flexibility" and "work/life balance..THERE IS NONE. I once had to work at a Denny's due to a power outage. *Hours are long, and by long I mean work in the office until 8pm and then take your laptop home to work some more. *Training is more about "this is how you do it" not so much as to why, rarely there is that one manager who takes the time to train you correctly *There is -0 chances to move up in Tax. I know associates who have been there for 8 years plus with no increase in position. I also have friends in Advisory who were promoted to Senior within their first year, it varies within the departments. *Favoritism is HUGE

Training is a joke. Management has no idea on how to cultivate decent workers. Asking about and making suggestions about training actually made my manager angry and she told me to just go online and take to the training. If you are an experienced worker, this is not the place for you. On multiple occasions I was told it was easier for them to deal with kids right out of college. Some directors are definitely off kilter, they will yell at people in the middle of the floor, rather than have a discussion. If you aren't in a clique, good luck getting promoted. KPMG definitely plays favorites. Had to travel on very short notice on several occasions, less then 1 day notice. Work/Life balance is joke. They will tell you busy season is 50 hours weeks, but more like 70. Senior management is more concerned about keeping status quo rather than actually trying to make the department better. Management will put people on performance reviews and force them to leave. They will give either 30 days to improve your performance or you can voluntarily leave the company. This way KPMG can say that they are not doing layoffs.
