“At KPMG, we have an open, cohesive community which determines the everyday atmosphere at work, in addition to the benefits of working at a multinational company. People are really helpful, treating everyone as equals, and you can always have a good coffee with someone, even online.”
“I gained so much valuable professional expertise in a year that would take years with other companies. I work together with the management teams at the companies, which has helped me to build up a large network of contacts in a relatively short period of time.”
“I’ve always admired how perfectly everyone can collaborate in audit department as a team. It’s hard to name a specific event, so I’d rather highlight how good it is to experience when everyone from junior auditors to partners work shoulderto-shoulder to provide the best possible solution for our clients.”

As tax advisors, we assist our clients in special tax issues in their operations, help them limit their tax burdens and manage tax-related risks. We become familiar with a number of industries and companies, and work on solving interesting problems every day.

“I gained wide-ranging professional knowledge, and my problem-solving skills have developed a great deal. No matter what problem I face in my own life, the approach to start thinking about a solution straight away has become the rule.”
„I'm always excited about annual team building. The atmosphere is lively and it is a great opportunity to get to know colleagues outside of the office, to re-charge our batteries and have fun.”

We are not just attorneys but also advisors who create value for our clients. At KPMG’s legal department you can forget traditional legal work since you can take on the latest challenges in the market, and you can prove yourself.
“I was given responsibility and tasks creating added value from day 1, mainly because our colleagues are evaluated solely based on their knowledge and performance. For me, this is one of the most important positive aspects of working at KPMG. In our team, everybody starts out with the same opportunities including university-student apprentices and trainee lawyers just before their bar examination. Everyone is assigned tasks that they are happy with and whose complexity is in line with the work they put in.”
“At KPMG, I’ve had the opportunity to meet incredible colleagues, who are at least just as great people as they are professionals. Besides this, there are a lot of professional challenges and opportunities for continuous development both as a lawyer and as a human being. This has led me to feel that my work is truly useful and progressive for society.”
“We worked together perfectly during a project with our colleagues. Everything went smoothly among us without any mistakes in a large official procedure, which included finalising the submission in the afternoon of the last day of the deadline, going to the post office at night and filing the submission. Despite the continuous concentration and the insane adrenalin levels, everyone knew what their job was, and when and how to do it. It was great to experience what it’s like when everything runs smoothly. The client was also happy, as were we when we went for a beer after the submission.”
