Pros

Big 4, strong trainees . City centre location - v good clients

Cons

Lack of support, the existing staff dodged the difficult partners & clients. Staff who trained there are valued very highly whereas those of us who trained in other Big 4 firms are regarded as less having inferior training

Pros

KPMG as a brand, cab service

Cons

Quality of work is poor,managers have zero knowledge, lot of politics which comes out openly Profile - Functional Research is simply googling and putting numbers in ppt, though they use big words like RAK, financial research, financial advisers but in simple words its simple secondary research. The culture is worst with a big hierarchy and with high attrition rate Pay scale comparatively low as compared to other local KPO's.

Pros

Generous PTO time and the ability to use it. Relatively stress free work environment if you are not interested in career advancement Jump-start gives you an extra 2 hour start on your weekend during the summer months.

Cons

You will only be promoted or recognized if you are part of management's "favorites club" irrespective of the quality of your work or if you actually do any useful work at all. Management has a 'blame the victim' philosophy when it comes to performance, career advancement, or any other question. No matter what issues you attempt to discuss, they will always attempt to spin it as something you are failing to do but on the other hand can never explain what that something actually is. For someone who is naturally introspective and engages in self evaluation this just feels like a cop-out on managements part. If you are proactive about seeking advice or assistance on some issue and you are not part of the special club management will use that against you in performance ratings. Performance and promotion standards are opaque. upper management is completely incapable of articulating how they judge your performance or fitness for a particular role. Outdated technology. Your skills will wither if you don't keep up with stuff outside of work. Training is a mixed-bag. You may be able to get some training but whether you can use it is another story. There is no enthusiasm for the products either within the business unit or the development team. KPMG as a whole is a company that doesn't seem to understand itself. Upper management wants to treat every employee like a replaceable cog in the big reverse-hotelling machine. There are a multitude of different 'companies' within the larger firm and those differences should be encouraged - not stamped out.
