      the most political firm of all the big 4s

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - HR slaps band-aid solutions for employees such as fridays off during summer (2022) - renovated cafeteria in the downtown montreal tower - mini appreciation gifts for the holidays - good amount of time off (2-3 weeks for christmas, personal care hour bank, etc.) - depending on the team (heavy emphasis on depending), strong team culture and sense of belonging

      Cons

      - due to the political nature of the business and structure of the firm, everything is a question of 'what's in it for me?". That means if you are not a top performer well-liked by everyone, there is no future for you. as an example, a lot of the people i know and I myself have experienced situations where favoritism came into play (ex: racist/sexist situation or person excused simply because upper management likes them. another example is the boys club culture in many of the kpmg advisory teams). - no real change is happening (ex: renovation the working space and offices started min 2 years ago and not one single floor is done to date) - if you don't look and act like them, you are not one of them. (coming from a woman and POC. AKA if you are not a white french male, good luck) - despite all the advertising about it being an innovative company, the culture in many teams can be resumed to "dont talk and do as you are told". speaking up and offering ideas in many cases can be seen as obnoxious, smart-ass and not humble. - gaslighting will happen a lot and to survive you need to let yourself be gaslighted. good luck - merit is not based on hard work, but rather how much you suck up to decision makers - pay and bonuses are below market value

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good colleagues here and there

      Cons

      Toxic culture, a bunch of unhappy, insecure women, if you look attractive or are intelligent — you’ll be seen as a threat and treated unfairly. Not worth it. Life is too short. Boring work. Deeply insecure and miserable management (including senior leaders, especially those who give lots of talks about supporting other women). Catty and conniving environment.
