No good culture No help if you are stuck with some problem, no one will help you and your senior will force you to work without any help and they will ask you to complete the work by EOD. No work life balance, they call on your cell everyday

As any company, if you get a good manager you will more or less enjoy working here. But then again, getting a good manager is rare here and most of them don't have a life outside work and they expect the same from you, especially these bangalore senior managers.

Dislikes

Few perks and limited appreciation. Even if you receive compliments from clients, the most recognition you’ll get from KPMG is a thank-you email and a small voucher as a reward. Senior leadership has remained in the company for years, which has led to a rigid and hierarchical work culture. Many leaders seem more focused on appearances and office presence rather than fostering talent and innovation. Promotions often seem based on tenure rather than actual skill, and as a result, many in leadership roles struggle with independent problem-solving. My advice to senior management: Evaluate the skill levels of ADs and Directors before promoting them, as many rely on delegating tasks rather than leading by example....Read More

Work life balance is decent. Career path is clear (but highly depends on the team and manager) Company policies are good.

Dislikes

This is coming from my experience in a particular team. Someone else might have a better experience definitely. My team was horrible, biased, illogical and non-appreciative. People were looking to satisfy their own agenda. I was in a benchmarkinh team where you give recommendations based on data, but our teams management and leadership both were blind of what data says when it comes to team dynamics, feedback, and in general your performance....Read More

Nothing; It was hell.

Dislikes

Everything, They were very abusive. There offer no support to grow/work. They make you work for more than 16 hours a day but still expect us to put in even more efforts on the job. They make you work no matter if you are travelling in train, bus, and air travel. Downright hell hole of place to work anywhere in India for KPMG. It's off on weekends only for namesake, they make you work everyday and expect you to be available 24x7 and wants you to travel and work from any place they would want you to without a care for your family. The managers are very abusive and unappreciative of your work no matter how much deliverables you deliver....Read More

Job Security. Generally, they don't fire people unless they have done something illegal/against company policy. But it kind of encourages laggards. Training and skill development opportunities are plentiful, in fact many of them are mandatory. This is a great place for people with less than 10 yrs of experience.

Dislikes

Crazy bureaucracy. There are regulatory requirements due to it being an audit firm which occupies 50-60% of a manager's time to manage which takes out energy to deliver a project. Second problem is that same person is supposed to 1. Do Sales and win a project 2. Deliver it 3. Manage all risks This is highly inefficient Salary levels are also at least 20% below market

They have set good values and principles

Dislikes

The values and policies which was fixed by firm were not followed only showing and promoting it for showcase. Management is worst due to more toxic environment. Job security is not their when seniors and managers manipulate if anyone raised this concerns with HR. HR will also support to seniors and they tell sorry we can't help eventhough you have all the evidence to prove the case and even though you were high performance. They fire or blackmail to resign the job....Read More
