KPMG reviews

Paid less than other advisory firms. Bad communication. Whimsical promotion at the upper levels. Benefits used to be much better. The greed of the partners became especially clear during the downturn.

Projects are often lost because of misguided emphasis on risk management. Advisory is often treated like "audit." At times lack of focus on what the client might want-- instead, too much focus on ensuring that products and services "comply" with whatever risk management parameters are in place, and what has been "approved." Advisory is supposed to be consulting, and KPMG should just call it what it is and support it as necessary to compete against other consulting firms. Otherwise, KPMG will never sucessfully compete against pure consulting firms with the flexibility and nimbleness to tailor solutions for the client.
