Why is it good to work at KPMG?

Posted by PeterJudge

The Today programme this morning reveals that consultants KPMG will top this year's Sunday Times list of the best companies in Britain to work for.

The Sunday Times says the key factor is leadership - in "having managers in whom one has complete faith", and a consultant (from a company called Roffey Park) says it helps if the work is "stimulating and interesting", and that one "feels one is making a difference and doing worthwhile work".

Long term ZDnet readers will know another possible reason - the company's truly excellent corporate anthem (listen to the audio files), which won it legions of fans outside the company and, no doubt, inspires joy and enthusiasm in its offices.

The full Sunday Times list isn't released yet, but apparently the top five is mostly made up of financial services companies, leading to speculation that pay may be a factor in making workers happy. We can only wait with interest to see how many of them have also distinguished themselves in the field of music.
