Pros

-Very demanding so learnt a lot -Started off my career with a low benchmark for what a full-time job is like and gave me low expectations from a company. Henceforth this has made me really appreciate what working in a nice company is like and has made me more tolerant of negative aspects because this one was so brutal.

Cons

-Long and unappreciated working hours. Rarely thanked for your work and looked down on if you left within contractual working hours. -Had a 1:1 performance review with my manager twice during the year I was there and both were largely critical and negative experiences. -Everyone felt on edge and under extreme pressure all the time. -Horrible, negative, toxic atmosphere. -The team I was in was understaffed so about 6 of us had to do work for about twenty especially as people kept leaving. -Constantly undermined by manager and honestly called stupid -Incredibly low wages despite the arduous work put in which is demonstrative of how ungrateful and unappreciated we were. -Poor opportunities for career progression and the salary bonuses offered were pathetic. -No focused training provided on the job. You had to learn as you went and were treated like an idiot if you made mistakes/asked too many questions.

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
