KPMG India Salaries in Kolkata (Updated 2025)

Likes

The KPMG experience is very team specific. Since I was part of a small team I had the opportunity to learn a lot from administrative/managerial elements to technical work.

Dislikes

...alance. But worse was a general apathy of leadership regarding employee welfare. Salary was not commensurate to the range of activities accomplished. Also there is limited growth opportunity from knowledge perspective - Manager onwards it's only about targets, elbow room to try out other areas is very limited. Result is a rather toxic environ and a more sales like orientation than a knowledge oriented one.

...professional environment. You get deserving appreciation verbally or via awards. Compensation and hikes are really good. One can't complain on those fronts.

Dislikes

Domestic client has its merits and demerits. Domestic clients usually try to avoid meetings during requirements gathering phase. They do not cooperate much during the implementation phase. Post go live they come up with issues and excuses to avoid payment. And that pressure completely comes on the team. The director and associate director generally take sides of client to pacify them since they also need money but this system is completely flawed. Due to this sales oriented attitude, if anyone even wants to give a good solution, won't be able to. For technical people KPMG is not good as senior consultant. You don't get much scope to grow since you are expected to bring leads instead of deciding whether to use REST or SOAP.

The convenient bus service, the free lunches, and the amazing co-workers.

Dislikes

The workload is heavy, the hours are long and the salary is low. They do not care about employees, only about their work and targets. They even ask employees to postpone and reduce their lunch breaks.

The Salary which you get is good.

Dislikes

The work life balance and the services like cab and over time benefits are not there, and they may plot you to any kind of work which may be totally different from your background.
