Pros

- Good location - Client side of office is beautiful - Coffee machine - Friday beers - Diverse workforce and some very intelligent and passionate people to work with.

Cons

- Like all public accountancy firms, high pressure on job performance and hitting multiple (very ambitious) KPI's, which are put on show for your whole team to view and you're hung out to dry. - CEO is a visionary who will preach about people development when you receive very little compared to other firms, it's all about making money. (Which makes sense) - Very poor work life balance, long hours and pressure to finish engagements when there are large road blocks. - Management varies, there are a few excellent leaders who encourage and develop your skills. There are however, an abundance of those who treat you like a liability and it hinders performance and self-worth. - Some poisonous office politics which you become decensitised to and then feel libirated when you escape in your next position of employment. - Frustrating IT issues irrespective of in house IT company as on hand support.

Kearney Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that you felt quite frustrated by your experience. We endeavour to ensure our staff are able to contribute and work collaboratively in a team orientated environment. That each member not only works as an individual but supports the goals or targets to be achieved as a collective. We are very much focused on driving the opportunity for our staff to collaborate and contribute as a team to organisational performance as well as recognising individual contributions. This is why we pride ourselves on having great teams who work effectively in supporting each other and learning from one another. Kearney Group takes all feedback seriously and endeavours to ensure we provide a creative, inspiring learning organisation for our staff. To support continuous improvement we conduct employee engagement surveys and exit interviews. In our most recent engagement survey the feedback relating to our management team was particularly positive. We have quite a flat structure within the organisation, ensuring individuals can develop across their career paths without hierarchy getting in the way. Our CEO is a visionary who inspires others to look at what else could be done differently, better, more creatively. As such he is passionate about developing a robust People Strategy in 2017 that creates opportunity for staff to further develop their technical skills and drive the direction of their career within the firm. We believe in investing in our staff and support education expenses and study, pay for memberships aligned to employee roles, send staff on industry related conferences and well-being workshops and attendance at leadership development courses just to name a few. We are passionate about developing and growing our people to be the very best versions of themselves and provide a number of forums for staff to share insights and ideas that will make a difference to how they work. If you would like to share your feedback further, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources. We would be happy to speak with you at a time convenient to yourself.
