KPMG reviews

Very depressing environment, very robotic, very tight workspaces (workspaces in accounting used to be much better); very little time off, weekend work and long hours expected. Large accounting firms are outsourcing work at an accelerated rate to India and other countries where salary expectations are much lower, thus the worsening working conditions in the US.

I am compelled to share distressing observations and personal experiences regarding the conduct of our company's senior management, involving multiple partners. A concerning pattern of inappropriate physical interactions has emerged, where senior leadership engages in unsolicited massaging, waist touching, and invasive hand touching while female colleagues use computer mice. These incidents occur publicly within the open office space, suggesting a normalisation of such unacceptable behaviours. Moreover, there is a blatant disregard for professional boundaries, exemplified by senior management referring to overseas KPMG colleagues with demeaning terms. This language not only disrespects but also diminishes the professional contributions of our colleagues, it was borderline racism. The situation is further exacerbated by a noticeable bias towards quite a few senior employees who are seemingly immune from performing meaningful work, creating a culture marred by inefficiency and a lack of accountability. These issues collectively signal a profound lapse in the company's ethical standards and professional conduct, requiring urgent and comprehensive intervention to restore integrity and respect within the workplace.
