If you just want to recieve on time salary and don't want to put too much effort into your work then this is the best firm to relax

Dislikes

It is a highly biased firm, if you are not in good books of senior management people, then no matter how good you perform it won't matter. Your growth rate is not proportional to your effort & skills if you don't know how to be in good books of some people

The office environment and overall setup are quite good, with a somewhat decent salary.

Dislikes

However, my experience with the team I was part of was less than satisfactory, although this may be not the case for everyone. There is minimal on the job training provided; instead new employees are required to attend mandatory, irrelevant, often non work related training sessions during the week. Despite this they are expected to perform at the same level as long term team members from day one. Additionally, there are concerns of comparison, favouritism, team/office politics, and a general lack of empathy. The constant list of meetings, team events, and mandatory training leaves little time to focus/perform actual work.

The pay is good and working hours are good if you are in the right team

Dislikes

KGS dominance and favourism. People at higher post mis treat the employee and prefer non sense things over work to make you qualify their performance parameter

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.
