Pros

Just like others, they offer salaries.

Cons

There are so many fallacies with this firm. It’s family business not a multinational firm. There are no HR policies rather discriminating HR policies. Not a professional work environment. If you are a relative of the leaders then you have all chances of growing in this firm because: - You don't have to be qualified to grow. - No need to have desired skill sets to grow. - No need to work for long hours. - Year on year have 'exceptional performance rating' and every year a promotion + bonus. - Training/ conferences to Europe are like honeymoon trips. There are clear discriminating HR policies in the organization. Many qualified and good people left KPMG Kuwait because growth was limited to sons/relatives of the partners and their favorites.

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
