KPMG is lacking some serious leadership from the top. Your peers are great people to work with (analyst to senior), but the Directors and Partners are not very welcoming. One thing that I can say is that you will learn a lot about what NOT to do as a leader. Stable company with lots of business, but you will be working a lot of hours.

I am a Director at KPMG, and I have found that the mentality of the Tax practice is sell, sell, and then sell some more. I feel that the Partners have no ethics and will try to sell something regardless of being able to deliver on the project. Overall, I think the company is not that great and would not get my business if I was looking for accounting services.

There is a thing called "paying your dues" in this industry. This is referred to as working the grunt work like mad for the first three years until you finally do some high level work. During your first three years, you will be doing quality checks, working extremely hard, working late hours, and find yourself doing the same mundane tasks day in and day out. Work is not fun here

I would definitely recommend for people to work at KPMG. The hours are tough, the work is kind of repetitive, but I absolutely love the company culture, the people, and the fact that they take really good care of us. Compensation, job security, and company perks make this life more than worthwhile.

I know many people that are looking to switch to another accounting firm (including myself). Employee morale is low because the Tax business has slowed down significantly. KPMG has consistently stayed at the bottom of the Big Four accounting firms.

The firm is doing exceptionally well. However, being part of the Big Four means that there are 3 other extraodinary firms that we are competing against. Every employee gets their own laptop, get many perks, and is paid a decent salary. Employee morale is also decent, and I have seen many Directors switch from KPMG to Deloitte, PWC, or EY.

I like my company because the culture is young and fresh. I have learned a lot while working here, and we are hiring a lot of people all the time. Audit is not the best job in the world, but working with great people makes any job worth while

The company outlook is looking good. My division is the forensics and litigation side and we have a lot of work because of Sarbanes Oxley. I feel very secure at my job and know that I will be at the company for years to come.
