How are senior leaders perceived at KPMG?

Good place for experience different projects and areas of accounting.

Very poor leadership, lack of transparency, a lot of politics for promotion or even efficient work.

Great work culture, leadership is very reachable

Nothing as such but, salary is also good

If you are in a good project with good people they will support you

The increment is based upon the rating and as all other company lot of politics here for that rating if you don't consider that then you are good to go just come here work for 1, 2 years and switch. Also if you are alone in a project or there are fewer members you will face lot of challenges

The culture of the organisation, its various facilities, leaves policy, senior management

The team I was working with at KPMG was the worst I had seen/heard ever! The culture the top management is trying to build didn't reach my team, maybe because the people in my team were there for almost 8-10 years and they had their own ways and means to work, micromanage and the weren't able to accept an outsider who challenges their lifelong notions they are living by.

Nothing is good here at all

Very much a toxic old boys club and there's a sense of "us and them" whilst senior management look down upon the sub-ordinates who they treat as a "cattle mart" when resourcing against projects (where skills are never matched). When in on office days there is an air of arrogance and smugness with a lot of their consultants and management prancing around acting busy, I think a lot of the staff fall into these ways naturally as this behaviour is embedded into the culture, so please stay true yourself. Get ready to sit in silence when in the office, as no one engages with each other due to the authoritarian and dry culture driven from the top down. Directors/Partners you may have assisted on a project in the past wouldn't even have the decency to give you a simple hello when passing in the corridors and treat you as sub-human while looking down their nose at you. The firm outwardly projects that its diverse but they are anything but that, if your not the stereo typical private school / Trinity comrade then you wont fall into the favoritism granted for promotions. The known promotion culture fostered in the Big 4 has become non existent in KPMG recently due to changes in senior management in consulting alongside cost saving agendas being implemented even though revenues have increased year on year, this strategy doesn't work in a people business. If you want to progress/grow your career here, its merely a popularity contest at best, but as I said they have revoked the promotion culture in KPMG recently (which was a reason many stayed in the past).You will see a lot of strong employees not get promoted simply because their not liked by the powers and the very few promotions are now granted to the weaker pretentious / private school cohort who brown nose senior management. A lot of their consultants/managers are at best project managers with little to no experience in Technology. There has been a mass exodus of junior staff members leaving the grad programme and moving to competitors, which management cant figure out why. The grads are glorified secretary's that get little responsibility and if senior management take a disliking to you for what ever reason your in for a rough ride. Look elsewhere if your junior and want responsibility/growth/experience and a decent culture. Salary's are poor here compared to other firms and there are very few benefits. The only way to increase is through a promotion which they have completely ceased. Narcissism, bullying, favouritism, non-inclusivity, snobbery and inflated egos are at the core of this firm. Save yourself a lot of pain by avoiding this place at all costs, you will pay with your mental health in this soulless organisation, there is much better out there. Don't fall for the image they try portray themselves as, it’s truly rotten to the bone and I don't know how their clients cant see through the facade.
