Minpunten
You will only be promoted or recognized if you are part of management's "favorites club" irrespective of the quality of your work or if you actually do any useful work at all. Management has a 'blame the victim' philosophy when it comes to performance, career advancement, or any other question. No matter what issues you attempt to discuss, they will always attempt to spin it as something you are failing to do but on the other hand can never explain what that something actually is. For someone who is naturally introspective and engages in self evaluation this just feels like a cop-out on managements part. If you are proactive about seeking advice or assistance on some issue and you are not part of the special club management will use that against you in performance ratings. Performance and promotion standards are opaque. upper management is completely incapable of articulating how they judge your performance or fitness for a particular role. Outdated technology. Your skills will wither if you don't keep up with stuff outside of work. Training is a mixed-bag. You may be able to get some training but whether you can use it is another story. There is no enthusiasm for the products either within the business unit or the development team. KPMG as a whole is a company that doesn't seem to understand itself. Upper management wants to treat every employee like a replaceable cog in the big reverse-hotelling machine. There are a multitude of different 'companies' within the larger firm and those differences should be encouraged - not stamped out.
