I dont know as my offer was retracted.

...ning, I did not serve the notice period and did not obtain an experience letter. The second job was with SSS, a reputable product company, offering a good job profile but with a package less competitive than what KPMG has offered. Throughout the KPMG selection process, I transparently communicated to the recruiter about my previous company, NNN, explaining that I left on less than favorable terms and lacked an experience letter. Initially the recruiter highlighted potential issues with Background Verification (BGV) if I were selected. In response, I expressed my hesitations and made it clear that I would not proceed under these circumstances. However, the recruiter later informed me that the management had granted approval and there would be no BGV concerns related to NNN. KPMG typically conducts BGV checks before the joining date, a standard practice. In my case, I insisted on resigning from SSS only after the BGV was successfully cleared to avoid surprises later on. However, the recruiter disagreed, claiming it would be too late to resign once the BGV was completed. Despite spending four months on the recruitment process, the recruiter urged me to resign from SSS without waiting for the BGV results. Regrettably, I agreed and resigned from SSS, trusting the recruiter's assurance that everything was in order. Since I was just one month into this company and was in enabler phase, my manager there released me in 1 week instead of official 1 month period. To my dismay, a month later, the recruiter informed me that BGV had failed, citing negative feedback from NNN as the reason. This revelation left me jobless, having believed in the recruiter's earlier assurance that the matter with NNN had been resolved. I share this review not only to express my disappointment but also a cautionary tale for fellow candidates considering opportunities at KPMG. My intent is to encourage individuals to exercise caution and seek written confirmation from the recruitment team before making any decisions, learning from the mistake I made. If you or someone you know is contemplating a role at KPMG, I strongly advise approaching the opportunity with caution and ensuring clarity in all communications with the recruitment team. Thank you for taking the time to read my experience.

Year end bonus is good if meet targets.

Dislikes

WFH is in contract but not following. Management has 0 clue how to run this project. Always knee jerk reaction approach. Delegation isn't proper. No analyst is happy. 0 growth opportunities, no time to do anything else. Job security is doubtful as they hire and fire at will.

Good culture in teams. Great learning. Some teams like international are better. They undertake complex work and have very good culture.

Dislikes

Salary parity is an issue when compared to competitors like Accenture. This is true for people undertaking relatively low complexity work in Accenture. Their salaries remain higher despite no appraisals given for a year. Salary is not determined at KPMG for people considering work they do, may be due to lack of understanding of HR regarding difference in work undertaken be each person. Poor salary also results in less skilled people getting hired requiring lot of counseling and guidance.

The culture and compensation is good when compared to other Big4

Dislikes

The package will be less and the work life balance is very poor. If you are not qualified or no plans to be a CA or CPA there is no point in joining this position.
