A firm full of bullies and racists
Pros: Nothing comes to mind as my years at KPMG were all miserable
Cons: The company has many issues surrounding bullying, harassment, discrimination and victimisation. These issues are institutionalised and no one wants to deal with it. Many Partners, Directors and Senior Managers openly violates the company's anti-harassment policy but when grievances are raised against them, no evidence will ever be found. The company pretends to support diversity by hiring people from all backgrounds, but in reality there is a strong old boy's club culture and if you don't like laddish jokes you don't fit it, and if you don't fit it, you get sidelined. The company also has its values sticked on the walls of every meeting room, but ironically the stated values (e.g. integrity and respect) are precisely what this firm lacks. Whoever tries to raise concerns or follow the value statements gets bullied out.
