What are other benefits and incentives like at KPMG?

Nice colleagues with a lot of experience and always open to questions.

Pay and benefits compared to other boutiques or banks is not competitive with low bonus pay and intensive working hours

Good Compensation, work life balance, great opportunities for learning and development

No negatives to highlight. Office did not have sufficient seating capacity and no office parking was available.

If you find the right team, you'll work with the best people and have the best leadership that will actually help you grow within the company. Great benefits.

Alot of inadequate individuals in leadership roles who can't lead. Don't stress too much about the goal setting I promise it's really not as big a deal as they make it out to be. Also please remember that no matter how many times they drill their "values and morals" into your head...they don't give actually care about any of that in anything they do. The pay is a joke for the work you do (way below market rate), no matter what performance rating you get there isn't a huge pay increase or bonus, so there is no real incentive for hard working individuals. There is a huge gap between what social events look like for administrative staff and management and even between groups. Some groups get lasvish lunches, name brand gifts and amazing experiences and other groups get a cheese board and some crackers while they play kahoot in the office. Just learn where to put your energy so you don't waste your time.

Okay compensation and a whole lot of learning opportunities

No work life balance, poor work culture and below average compensation in comparison to workload

The teams are incredibly supportive We receive a lot of PTO and other benefits Decent work life balance

The pay is not great starting out or in the first few years at the role The systems in place do not work that well and can often make the job much harder

Good compensation, supportive team, good work life balance

Promotions are slow, pay hike can be improved

The people in the department

Recently communicated that they would be giving paycuts, after allowing people to sign on to become seniors and therefore their notice period going from 4weeks to 3 months. The paycuts are excessive and now someone in watford earns the same as someone in aberdeen. For assistant managers the paycuts means that we are on 6k less than the people the year before and even than external people who joined a month before. The paycuts imo are unethical and unfair as they have trapped people going from junior to senior into 3 month notice periods on much lower pay than they planned for. There is no performance based pay or bonus given so whether you are a high performer or a lower performer you get paid the same meaning there is no incentive to work hard. There is no bonus given whatsoever which is not in line with other firms. Additionally the hours are extremely long with no overtime pay.

The pay is competitive compared to other service companies.

Managing work-life balance is challenging.

There is lots of room to learn and opportunities for development

The pay is below market value and some performance KPIs are beyond your control
