Pros & Cons

  • The people are very welcoming and the general vibe when working in the office (or even at home) is positive and encourages collaboration.
  • Working with supportive team members, having a variety of tasks, great office, opportunities to do things outside of work specific tasks (e.g. group activities, volunteering, events...)
  • Everyone (including managers and those in positions above) is very approachable. It is very easy to network. I am surrounded by a variety of different people with different skills and experiences. The office is modern, clean and enjoyable. There are several events run for graduates. There are opportunities to get involved in engaging internal work.
  • The amount of variability in the work is fantastic. Not once in my time so far have, I done the same job more than once and every day in the office is different. You also get great exposure to so many different industries which provides the opportunity to learn every day. Further, the other best part about working for KPMG is the social element it provides. There are committees dedicated to putting on events and ensuring that you meet and network with others. The people are also fantastic and always provide a safe environment to make mistakes, learn and thrive.
  • The best aspect of my role is the opportunity to engage in impactful strategic work alongside supportive colleagues who are always willing to lend a hand. The flexibility of my work schedule allows me to operate within timeframes and conditions that best suit my needs.
  • Consulting has a bit of a learning curve and can seem overwhelming at times; however, there is plenty of support to assist.
  • The pace can accelerate or slow down significantly depending on the market.
  • Remuneration could be better.
  • Working overtime during the busy season.
  • Long hours at times when something may be due, but for the most part there are no downfalls.

Culture
The culture is fantastic. There is a hierarchical structure; however, it often feels unnoticed, and all doors are open. The teamwork element of the job is one of the best parts and the after-work socialising is fantastic, which is another big plus for the company

Sustainability

Sustainability
When I first started at KPMG there was a big push for communication and education on sustainability. Obviously with such big companies it can be hard to manage this but with the support from environmentally conscious sectors they really do a good job in encouraging sustainability.
