KPMG reviews

Risk consulting lacks leadership and management (and pretty much everything. The seniors barely know anything and make embarrassing mistakes infront of clients on a regular basis. The waistcoat brigade have ZERO technical knowledge, no idea how to respect people and often make inappropriate remarks. They love gossiping and doing sub-standard work for their clients and also share confidential staff issues with each other. Basically a bunch of deluded people who hide behind a failing brand name.. nowhere near as good as the other big 4 and the news headlines are a very fair reflection of that! They have been trying to hire people for the last two years and nobody joins the team. After spending sometime there, you can see why! So glad I managed to jump off this sinking ship..

We’re talking about a Big 4 public accounting firm...obviously long hours for most of the year. Although they have tried to improve their 401(k) contributions, it’s still almost a joke at how little they are willing to match. Also, singles watch out...unless you have children, you can kiss work/life balance away. However, if you’re an accountant thinking about working at KPMG, don’t be mislead...this is standard across ALL public accounting firms. The adage is true — the PEOPLE you work with make the difference and the overtime, work, and benefits are pretty standard across the board.
