KPMG reviews

You have to be in your position for 2 years before you can be promoted.  2 years is too long for most of the associate positions - especially when the job has been marginalized to the point of following written procedures - no thinking or learning required! Systems are antiquated and need improvement. They need to invest in some serious improvements

The downsides of working at KPMG are: 1) Boring work (unless you love accounting) 2) Awful work/life balance for no reason (long hours simply because Partners are at a client site -- not due to to heavy workloads) 3) The fact that everyone is promoted each year, regadless of performance 4) Inefficient process (hard copy workpapers, and a highly inefficient end to end audit process) 5) Negative working environment
