Incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience
Pros: Met some really nice people who no longer work there. Pay was ok.
Cons: Toxic, unprofessional senior leadership that will never be laid off or fired. If you’re working for or with anyone who’s been at KPMG for +5 years, good luck.  10+ years? Run. They’ve figured out how to “work” there, learned all the bad habits, won’t listen to new ideas and will never fight for you. The cream does not rise to the top here. My department delivered nothing of value but that didn’t stop the fire drills, long hours, unjust and overly harsh personal attacks, reworking of poor processes over and over, people trying to take credit for your work... Be ready for bullying, back-stabbing by long-term employees. Prepare to spend HOURS each quarter taking ethics courses because other departments’ terrible behavior. Pssst, it’s not working. Worked in two different offices and found people to be unwelcoming. and unhelpful to newcomers, visitors. Was promised a lot, little if anything was delivered. Open seating and no assigned desk is a noisy, inconvenient nightmare that needs to stop. Having this company on your resume will only look good to people who’ve never worked here. A complete step backwards in terms of professional development.
