Avis généraux sur l'entreprise KPMG (Cape Town, Western Cape)
3,0
All in all very a good company to work for due to benefits and fairness
Very busy work days and was left very much to my own devices, as they knew that I could do my job. Worked from 06:30am to 19:00pm daily (did not have to but loved it). Workplace culture was very much based on honesty, efficiency and professionalism. Management trusted employees to do what was expected. Hardest part of my job was that, after distinguishing one person from another regards reckless trading, cover ups of assets and criminals, I had to learn how to approach people and it was in some instances, very sad and difficult. Had to learn to be harder. I loved the investigations I did (when necessary), the presentation of court documents typed by me and attending to various Courts, liquidated company sites and insolvent's homes and inventorizing assets
Points positifsPension Fund & Medical Aid Assistance

Great team that I learn a lot from
No two days are the same and it is very dependent on the project you are working on. I learn to work with variou people and have to flexible to adjust to various work-styles and managing styles.
The team I am in is vibrant and young and come from different backgrounds, creating room to learn from one another.
I am expected to be able to work independent, but communicate regularly to keep everyone in the loop.
Points positifsDifference things all the time and working with different people
