Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Over worked and no recognition (personally or financially) unless a manager or higher.
Pros: Exposure  to high profile clients and projects; kpmg name on cv
Cons: Incomparable salary brackets, perpetuates. "Us and Them" culture. Old fashioned and exclusive "partners lounge", few and insignificant general staff benefits; Long hours and no thanks; HR only exists as "People  and Culture" and as there isn't any protection or union for staff, all issues reported to "People and Culture" are sent to staff's line manager as the interest is only to protect the company; (in-spite of job adverts) inflexible work/life balance for staff under a certain threshold, leave withheld at managers discretion, patronising culture downwards.
