      All of the above; the good, the bad, and the ugly

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits with pension, looks good on your resume/leverage, ability to work from home, structured, opportunity to grow (based on a strict plan)

      Cons

      You will notice favoritism, a lack of work-life-balance, a lack of inclusiveness in the actual everyday environment—even though due to company policy, they strategically give the illusion of inclusiveness as an emphasized value. It can be a toxic corporate environment, there's a lot of 'sneakiness' that goes on based on consistent word-of-mouth in my experience. Keep in mind that it is not a unionized firm to work for so they could let you go at any point without reason – I've seen good employees disappear. They claim to have a system in-place to avoid being blindsided in suddenly being let go but (based on favouritism); you will be blindsided regardless and they will pay you off – the Labour Board and/or lawyers cannot help you as a result. People who work for KPMG bleed KPMG so do not trust everyone.

      Not a healthy place to work

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Pay - Bonuses - Benefits - Some locations are nice

      Cons

      - Managers are inexperienced - Excessive in fighting and blame pointing among the managers/directors slows work done and inhibits solving problems - Directors lie about staff to manipulate employees and deflect blame - Job description doesn't match actual job - HR does nothing about toxic culture

      Better off going elsewhere in the industry

      Senior manager/manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      KPMG name and many nice events. Some nice partners and people depending on the group that you are in. Work life balance and flexibility.

      Cons

      Terrible culture in many groups with questionable behaviour forcing many talented people to leave for the industry. Lack of inclusion and false promises to staff. Limited learning and growth compared to the industry. Low pay. Increasing people dissatisfaction everywhere.
