KPMG Global Services - Back office, low end work, long hours, pathetic management, no vision
Pros
Very to good place to attend company parties..socials...9-5 job in certain pockets of KGS...all good if you are happy to do company profiles and excel copy paste work
Cons
Hahaha...where should I start. Let me start from the interviews HR promises 1. You get to work with top global clients (Yes...you make company profiles on their names for your onshore colleagues in US/Europe) 2. You work on best projects (Yes...your onshore colleagues work on them and you assist them in copy/pasting data or helping them with small bits and pieces of information) 3. Your salary will get adjusted in your first appraisal - Yes...they will make sure you don't get a good hike and adjust your salary to below market levels... Business interview 1. You will be interviewed by an onshore as well as offshore team (local team which sits in Gurgaon). Your onshore team will tell you that they will be your main colleagues and be responsible for your appraisal/feedback etc...Oh Oh Oh..wait..Did you just forget that you got an Indian manager sitting on top of your head here and he will be the one who puts you down during the appraisal process. Most favorite appraisal line - "We will try your promotion case but it seems hard this year" When you start working - 1. From day one..your manager will tell you that there is an urgent piece of work which needs to done for some Mr. X/Y/Z in Europe/US and we need to send this tonight or tomorrow (You will wonder that if you were not hired and joined ...who would have done that ???). Remember - Everything is urgent and important except for your need to go and attend a nature call 2. You will hear your feedback from onshore colleagues that formatting was not right..lines were not proper..alignment was out and they will also teach you that on phone...hahaha...no intelligent conversation will be done with you...bcoz you were hired to do low end work and not projects...lol 3. When you work with your onshore colleagues - its your duty to send them reminders to check your work and call them everytime and be polite with them...following up with them is always your duty...If they don't answer your call that is not a problem...but if you miss their call....lol 4. Work hours - Dude...didnt get it till now...The more "Hours you have in your timesheet...the better it is" Appraisal 1. The more Amul you had given to your senior...the better it is! 2. I wonder how they decide who is better on the basis of company profiles or copy pasting work ...or excel to pdf copy..Looool Some favorite tag-lines 1. This is urgent and important. It needs to go out asap 2. Can we site to discuss it - "You are in trouble dude" 3. I have got this very critical piece of work from US/Europe for you - Dude...more company profiles or lot of copy paste work In the end...I am glad I left it at the right time and enjoying much better career prospects and respect!
