Finally had the guts hand in resignation at KPMG. Exit interview: Would be great if KPMG entrered this millennia in terms of culture, tools and leadership. Hard to say it, but all the memes about KPMG appear facts by the day.KPMG

Leadership made up of Assurance, so all is about how assurance works. In some offices there are some understanding that not all service lines operate like assurance. But not in mine.

K9, good question and one should be self-critical in assessment. Revenue and GM wise ahead of target. Sold projects outside my own SL. Reference to pocket change is KPMG’s relative bonus size compared to other markets players.

I think all really large companies lack culture. Thoughts? Agee?
