Culture at KPMG Australia

Decent working culture and camaraderie within team, but working hours can get hectic during tax season. Team structure is layered and hierarchical (i.e. constant layers of reviews)

Everyone is welcoming and nice, does not feel too hierarchical.

As a part of a small team, we are close and meet each other for lunch every day. It is nice to start as a big grad cohort to have them around to share the experience together. Whether you are wfh or on a client site, we tend to still get along well. The wfh culture, overtime, start time expectations, and hierarchy can vary widly by which team you work in

My team is pretty good at things like all eating lunch together and going for coffee in the morning together, but there are no social events outside of work hours or after work drinks etc. There isn't much broader team cohesion (eg we have a team of 40 people and most people don't know everyones names or faces, and my team partner doesn't know my name). There is big pressure to be fully billable, even if that means working long hours.

The integration of partners to graduates and casuals is seamless throughout office and out of work hours social events. Social events, structured and casual happen 2-3 times per month.

People are very sociable and enjoy chatting. Social activities are very alcohol-oriented, e.G. After-work drinks.

White middle-aged boys club. The team gets in early at 8-8:30 to look productive, only to go for a coffee and yap until 10am. Lots of gossip around the office and cliques within the team.

Social culture is terrific. As I said, lots of different events to attend, and things to get involved with. Many of these events are after hours. I have great fun going for drinks or other events with my colleagues. I also enjoy the flat structure of our business. Partners, Graduates, and everyone in between sits in the same spaces in an open office plan. This means senior figures are very accessible, and it promotes collaboration between junior and senior staff.

Sometimes too many social events

Great culture. Always have people who want to hang out with you before or after work. Made lots of friends. Very healthy culture too, everyone is super supportive

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 and another big plus for the company.

Natural socialisation is great, though I very much dislike corporate socialising events as they feel contrived. Hierarchy is generally quite flat.

Social events are fun. My grad group is great to hang out with. The culture can be quite toxic, specifically in positions above grads (seniors/assistant managers) depending on who you surround yourself with.

The hierarchy is very lateral - it is very easy to talk to my superiors, even those I have not met before. People are keen to share their work and information the working hours vary, but on average, are very manageable

So far, the culture has been incredible, and everyone is extremely supportive and helpful.

Personally, I feel like the culture at the firm is pretty poor. I've been with the company over 9 months, and I feel like I've never fit in. If you're not an alcoholic, you often feel left out of workplace activities.

Everyone is happy to have a chat and help out whenever you need. No interaction after hours when logged off which is a good thing. Hybrid working environment makes socialising difficult. Hierarchy is there but not clear in day to day due to hot desking and everyone being friendly with each other.

Generally positive. Very inclusive and outgoing culture. However, there is a clear hierarchy to who performs and who takes credit / rewards from work.

Great young team who enjoy hanging out together.

Our culture is highly performance driven
