Been at K for 5 years. Came from a small boutique firm and initial years were rough. But like others said, very people focus. People are generally very helpful but there are a few bad apples regardless.

The firm has been very supportive of my life events and personal life. The team was very supportive to me when I had my kids to keep me stay away from travel as much as possible, some of my mentors even willingly share their sales to help me avoid bad metrics when I was busy with kids, supportive during my relocation due to personal reason and generally very fair to me on performance review and such. Of course, I also work my ass off when needed so it’s pretty much reciprocal.

Granted, I’ve not been to other b4 and can’t compare with others.

I love the culture here. Been here 9 years !

Culture is great compared to other big 4.

I personally love it

I love it. Came from mid tier and culture, people, pay, and clients are way better

I came from PwC a couple of years ago. I don’t like it but it’s better than PwC 🤷‍♂️
