Pros

It's a big brand that people know about.

Cons

I am compelled to share distressing observations and personal experiences regarding the conduct of our company's senior management, involving multiple partners. A concerning pattern of inappropriate physical interactions has emerged, where senior leadership engages in unsolicited massaging, waist touching, and invasive hand touching while female colleagues use computer mice. These incidents occur publicly within the open office space, suggesting a normalisation of such unacceptable behaviours. Moreover, there is a blatant disregard for professional boundaries, exemplified by senior management referring to overseas KPMG colleagues with demeaning terms. This language not only disrespects but also diminishes the professional contributions of our colleagues, it was borderline racism. The situation is further exacerbated by a noticeable bias towards quite a few senior employees who are seemingly immune from performing meaningful work, creating a culture marred by inefficiency and a lack of accountability. These issues collectively signal a profound lapse in the company's ethical standards and professional conduct, requiring urgent and comprehensive intervention to restore integrity and respect within the workplace.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
