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

...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.

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

The culture is very good. Everything is well organised and catered to as per employee’s growth. Its a people centric organisation and you will feel the difference with its friendly environment and people.

Dislikes

The only disadvantage will be salary component. It is little off compared with its peers.
