        Pros

        Nothing comes to mind, maybe PTO but nothing special.

        Cons

        Managers get away with treating their people horrible, especially in the NY office - not a single ounce of human in their body - doesn’t believe employees are sick, checks up on sick days or if scheduled medical procedures are real, not to mention if employees are requesting bereavement days. Horrible borderline illegal treatment of female employees. Should be studied on how NOT to manage people. The only reason people stay in Stockholm syndrome.

            Our office was in Atlanta, far away from US headquarter and Corporate headquarter. That maybe a reason.

            Madrid office does not take US compliance seriously.

                      Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

                      I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

                      Manager

                      Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
