      Pros

      Not a bad job right out of college. I left, but many made careers there.

      Cons

      Closed the office I worked at, and made people relocate. But it happens.

        Benefits are decent. Team mates are wonderful and experienced

        Cons

        While the benefits are not the worst, they come with heavy out of pocket costs. Layoffs are common. Pay is low compared to competitors

          Pros

          Good colleagues and employee benefits

          Cons

          Your performance is solely determined on the mood of customers. 1 unhappy customer can damage your performance tremendously and pulls your team down. It’s very demoralising.

                Cons

                Disorganized No meritocracy there. Only the favorites and good looking ones get opportunities. They often downgrade people. They’re not what they used to be anymore, they lost many clients and as consequence layoffs are frequent . So people working there are always under the pressure and the anxiety of being the next one since many brilliant people got let go recently. They’re not diverse, it’s mostly white men being promoted. Their diversity and inclusion speech is a complete demagogy.

                    Very good culture and excellent co-workers, managers and friendly across board.

                    Cons

                    KPI does not match your job scopes. This is a project management intensive role but KPI is based on the happiness/impression of the expats have on you. You could resolve a huge problem and manage everything well but if the expat did not like your voice or your tone, they could bring your performance down with a click. That's not very fair. Sometimes review can be done to recover but this is a lengthy process.

                      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.
