      Terrible, unethical and often skirting illegal

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are good people here, but they don't stay long

      Cons

      System allows bad actors to make it to the top, focus on revenue without adding client value isn't a winning proposition, turning a blind eye to legal and ethical violations will catch up with the firm, providing employee benefits on paper to make the "best places to work surveys" but having managers limit their actual use is a terrible practice

      Nice Play to Work

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty good compensation and overall benefits package, with some nice unexpected perks thrown in throughout the year. While the work can be stressful, everyone always acts professionally. I've never ever experienced any rudeness from a superior in over two years. Although it's a competitive field so work-life balanced is always challenging to maintain, I've found the partners and managers I've worked for do more than pay lip service to it: They encourage their people to take time off, and support you taking time for family, vacation, or other meaningful pursuits, within reason.

      Cons

      A lot of the work is very tedious. Management tries to make us feel like our work as a "higher purpose" with internal marketing campaigns such as "The KPMG Story," but these self-congratulatory pep talks usually just elicit an eye roll from me. High performers can't accelerate their career fast enough as promotions are very structured and follow an entrenched path.

      Unpredictable hours may ruin your health

      Senior associate - deal advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I am writing the review because I sincerely want to warn people who want to join KPMG think twice. My review will not apply to every team in the Deal Advisory. Most people I work with are smart, hardworking and friendly. Sometimes, managers get demanding. But I understand it is not personal, it is just because either the client is demanding or the upper management is. Decent amount of vacation days. (But I see people have to work while on vacation...) There are lots of opportunities of networking. Opportunities of learning many new things in a short of time even though it can get stressful.

      Cons

      The biggest challenge for me is work/life balance. Hours are unpredictable, meaning you start at 8:30 or 9 and you don't know when the end is...And prepare to work at weekends. If you are single and live close to the office, you probably would be more tolerable with the hours. But for people who have family and live in the suburbs, it gets really tough. Working environment is not good: no private cube. People sit, work, eat and have calls in the same conference room. It is a mess...Not comfortable at all. I sometimes feel I am a slave in the room and have to tolerate with people's constant talks unrelated to work. Overall salary is OK. But given the long hours, the hourly pay is really low...
