KPMG reviews

Simply put, management is horrendous. - Terrible communication - They will tell you anything to keep you working there. Then come review time, they completely change their story. I have heard this horror story, and seen it happen to colleagues too many times to count - Compensation is the lowest in the industry, but they tell you that you should be thankful - Most managers and higher cannot actually do the work that they are supervising, which means they don't understand the intricacies of it and how it actually gets done. This leads to them just pushing people around, while not knowing what it takes to actually reach the goals they are setting.

Poor leadership in management (partner level), most of their time is preoccupied with business and clients rather than leading the units in right direction (or at least assign one with leadership ability to supervise the operation). Low motivation in going to work as the colleagues are clearly divided amongst the hierarchy, no bonding or whatsoever. Poor feedback system and appraisal rational, appraisal based on "comments" rather than realistic assessment of your strength and weakness, performance based on "how long you work tilled" rather than your intellectual level. Compliance team is production based, managers enforce on production rather than quality of work, whilst the seniors complaints about the quality when things are done out of rush. Lack of variety for compliance jobs, most of the time doing tax computation and dealing with accountants and admin tasks. People are generally robotised and numb as they climb up the ladder (and stucked) so they would expect you to be part of them. Most of the good performers are very meticulous in their work, but adhesive to the rules and policies in very rigid ways. A place work for survival / reasonable pay but with extra long hours (extreme in certain cases, a place lacking inspiration for further career development. So overall it causes low employee morales and high turnover rate when people is given a choice.
