Office politics, favoritism, low wages, poor work life balance will be the ruin of KPMG
Pros
- Most people are intelligent and friendly at KPMG International (shared services) - Very good benefits (health, dental, fitness reimbursement) - There are many opportunities to move to various teams (but the pay is always low) - The company is involved in many charitable events - Increasingly focused on going green - Training opportunities
Cons
- Low pay - It's impossible to strike a balance between work and life - Office politics that can suck the life out of you - Office environment not conducive to working effectively - KPMG has the worst HR department in all of Canada (they will lose your files, screw up your paycheque, forget to follow up on important matters, contradict themselves...) - There is an atmosphere of fakery among some leadership - Favoritism is appalling - Most teams are understaffed - Little flexibility with regards to work hours (8:30 - 5 shift with rarely any flexibililty)
