Flexible but cut throat
Cyber Security Analyst (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 4 November 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedFlexible but can easily get burnt out. If you don’t make yourself known or constantly promote yourself you run the risk of not offered any work. Which is not good for anyone who is introverted by nature.

Amazing place to grow and learn
Director (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 4 December 2023
I have had fantastic years at KPMG. It is an amazing place to grow and learn. The pace and expectations can be challenging but the variety and depth of exposure to client and work is unrivalled.

Competitive salary comes at cost of work-life balance

Great teams and supports.Competitive salary comes at cost of work-life balance.Seeing others people leaving made me feel insecure. But overall good experience.

Old fashioned management
Application Specialist (Former Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 3 October 2023
Old fashioned management, worst compensation compared to the market, Current Focus is on outsourcing everything. There are no positives in working here tbh.

what you learned
Assistant Manager (Current Employee) - Adelaide CBD SA - 7 June 2023
Na Idade Média havia um hábito curioso entre mercadores: morder a moeda de ouro recebida. O costume, que pode nos parecer estranho era, na verdade, uma forma de confirmar se o ouro era maciço. O metal, mais maleável que outros utilizados na cunha, deixava a marca do dente ao ser mordido. A marca, nesse caso, era a comprovação da qualidade.

Long Hours
Senior Analyst (Current Employee) - Sydney, Australia - 4 June 2023
Long hours and poor pay. A lot of company politics as well. Management tip toes around clients and accepts unrealistic deadlines, which the team needs to then deal with.

Nice environment
Audit Senior Manager (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 2 May 2023
Nice place, good people, some British-dominated racisim but minimal.Bad audit tools, no administrative work.Average pay that you need to negotiate, if you have got power!Workload is high. You can not have rest on annual leave.High staff turnover.
Pros
Good people balanced culture.
Cons
Long hours. Leadership will support as far as they need you. They will not support, if they do not need you. In otherwords, when the borders are open and they can bring people from overseas, you are just a number that they do not need.

it's a rat race machine
Associate Director (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 12 March 2023
Cookie cutter approach to everything.If you don't agree with a partner your career is over.Collaboration across business is highly promoted in public and highly discouraged in private.
