KPMG is about diversity and buiding a mentoring culture. We want everyone in our company to feel comfortable with the people that they are working with and the clients that they are working for. We have strong national leadership and they have engrained the company's goals into our head: we manage our clients' risk, we create profitable growth, and we must become the employer of choice in the accounting field.

We have so much fun in the office. We go to many happy hours and the Holiday Parties are so fun! I can honestly say that I have met many great people who I will be friends with for a lifetime.

Instead of evaluating us on our contributions, value, and effectiveness, we are evaluated on our billable hours and how many billable hours we work. This puts a great strain on the culture because we're more focused on doing mindless work than actually creating value for our clients.

KPMG has a vibrant and young culture. It feels nice walking into work and knowing that most of the people you're working with are from your generation. The employees are very diverse, and there are many women and minorities represented here. Office dress is very business casual unless we're meeting with clients or making formal presentations.

There are a lot of politics here at KPMG. In order to get far within the company, you need to get in good with one of the partners. Just because you would be the best at a certain engagement, it does not mean that you will be staffed for it. If you have a partner on your side that can pull some strings, you will be staffed on all of the projects that you want.

I work at KPMG audit, and the people here are pretty ok to work with. I have not found that people love to party on a Saturday night or go out to happy hour together, but the office environment is quite fun.

I love the people here! I'm able to work the long hours because everyone I work with is my close friend. I feel the Culture is Neutral though because the higher-ups only care about charegeability. They only care about completing your billable hours. As an analyst or a senior, they don't really care about us much.

I was an Audit intern for KPMG during a summer. The culture was great, young, and the people in the office work very hard workers. We went out all the time and had plenty of happy hour sessions. Managers and Directors are very friendly, but I did find the Partners to be a little intimidating. KPMG is always pushing for diversity (woman and minorities) and our dress code is business casual in the office.

I usually work about 60 hours a week. During the busy seasons (that usually range from March - October), I can expect to work anywhere from 70-80 hours per week. The firm can be stressful at times, but as long as you get your work done, you'll get by.

The culture here is very informal, compared to all of the other Big Four accounting firms. I have seen that KPMG likes to recruit experienced professionals rather than top students from top business schools. This suits me well because I never feel any pressure from my bosses or peers and always have a relaxed state of mind.

People work extremely hard here. There s a trend that I see: as you get older within the company and get more and more work and responsibilities, you tend to have a meaner and more abrupt personality. There is not really a great work-life balance, and the work that we do in Audit can get very redundant and boring.

KPMG has great work/life balance, diversity initiatives, and does a great job at increasing pay and benefits every year. I feel that I have a lot of opportunities while working here and that the firm is full of talented people.
