Fabulous place to work - great work opportunities, excellent people & leadership
Pros: There are several reasons why I just love working  at Digital Trust, KPMG SG: 

- Variety of work opportunities is fantastic. I did IT audits, assurance and SOC, TRM reviews, IT governance just in the first year. There’s a strong focus on innovation and Emerging Tech and thus a lot of exciting work in pipeline. 

- Nowhere could I find this amazing variety of people from different races and nationalities, but fabulous respect for all and making all feel so welcome! (I worked in HK with another Big 4 for four years and the office dialect 90% of the times was Cantonese; Here, but not once have I felt isolated in our department - everyone speaks the common language)
 
- Nowhere did I behold equal care and respect for our seniors, juniors and equals alike (I have seen Partner and Directors serving coffee and water at meetings and it is so heartening!)
 
- Nowhere could I find this culture of open and honest feedback without taking it to heart; there is this fantastic tolerance and attitude towards critical feedback because we all know its for our own improvement and because our superiors believe in us and our capability to do better!
 
- Nowhere else have I seen people having such a fantastic attitude to conflict (and the strong belief that conflict brings the best decisions). For e.g., At the round tables, we freely disagreed at the top of our voices because we wanted the most fair and positive decisions for our staffs . And even with immense conflict, the best part is, no one takes it personally!
 
- Nowhere would we have this splendid bunch of talented hard working passionate professionals who ride the tides of seasonal work with flair and flourish delivering exceptional client service while flying high in a plethora of extra curricular activities! (we have champions from Archery to Dragonboat and sometimes I just wonder how people can be so good at so many things and still so humble)
 
- And one thing that I can’t just stop raving about is how approachable everyone in DT is from Partner to our Associates. No one would deny other one for help on any subject it be! I have been a Senior, AM and Mgr here and have had the funniest problems from printing to word formatting to legal issues on EL but EVERYTIME , EVERY question has been responded to with cheerful willingness to help.
 
Being an IT Auditor was my dream job since university, but KPMG Digital Trust has provided me with the DREAM WORK ENVIRONMENT! It is so much because of the lovely inspiring work-family we have, I look forward to coming to work each day.
Cons: Work is seasonal so you are expected to work more than your scheduled 8 hours a day at times - but if you are passionate about your work and enjoy it, should be fine. Also management is leaving no stone unturned in getting resources and reducing staff workload
