Company: KPMG
Date: 2020-11-29
Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Fragmented culture: Experience depends on working with the right Partner (KPMG Strategy)
Pros: - Good learning environment
- Smart peers
- Good brand
Cons: - Work-life balance 
- Regular weekend work
- Short term revenues prioritised over getting the right work (limited "pure" Strategy work found here)
- Competitive culture that is systemic from the top: everyone out for themselves attitude
- High-pressure environment
- Due to no specialisation occurring until an individual becomes an Engagement Manager, Partners do not think about having sustainable working relationships with Managers, Senior Consultants and Consultants. This leads to Partners pushing consultants to the limit and a high burn out rate. This has led to high churn.
