      Prestigious reputation but toxic work environment

      Strategic sourcing & procurement
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for KPMG looks great on resumes. KPMG company leadership values employees and offers many perks from vacation to discounts on cars & electronics.

      Cons

      Senior Leadership in Strategic Sourcing and Procurement shows lack of respect for employees and is condescending to staff in meetings. KPMG is known for alternate work arrangements which is not granted to staff. Different rules apply to different people. Leadership has showed "everyone is disposible" by firing 20% of staff and hiring Contractors with the same titles the SAME day. Staff keep boxes under their desks in anticipation of being "let go." Work load is unevenly distributed. Ideas and concerns voiced by staff are not entertained nor addressed. No common direction or communication when it comes to advising business teams. Department is heavily micromanaged.

      Terrible, unethical and often skirting illegal

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are good people here, but they don't stay long

      Cons

      System allows bad actors to make it to the top, focus on revenue without adding client value isn't a winning proposition, turning a blind eye to legal and ethical violations will catch up with the firm, providing employee benefits on paper to make the "best places to work surveys" but having managers limit their actual use is a terrible practice

      Nice Play to Work

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pretty good compensation and overall benefits package, with some nice unexpected perks thrown in throughout the year. While the work can be stressful, everyone always acts professionally. I've never ever experienced any rudeness from a superior in over two years. Although it's a competitive field so work-life balanced is always challenging to maintain, I've found the partners and managers I've worked for do more than pay lip service to it: They encourage their people to take time off, and support you taking time for family, vacation, or other meaningful pursuits, within reason.

      Cons

      A lot of the work is very tedious. Management tries to make us feel like our work as a "higher purpose" with internal marketing campaigns such as "The KPMG Story," but these self-congratulatory pep talks usually just elicit an eye roll from me. High performers can't accelerate their career fast enough as promotions are very structured and follow an entrenched path.
