KPMG is a good place to start a career
Pros: Good exposure
Confidence builder: The nature of work I did at the firm has helped me to build my confidence. I used to be shy and timid, with low self esteem but due to the types of situations I functioned in successfully at the firm, I was able to develop my confidence level.
Commitment to excellence: The firm is committed to excellence in the work that we do and this is reflected in all aspects of work.
Good salary
Cons: 1. There is sometimes too much reliance on HIPPO (Highest Paid Person's Opinion). Hence, the direction of work is geared towards the boss' interest and not necessarily the best output from the team.
2. The firm works people too hard and sometimes there is no respect for people's personal lives. This mostly reflects in the taboo attitude towards people going on vacation. It's as if going on vacation is rubbing the firm instead of taking an earned break from the stress of work.
