Why KPMG:
KPMG is a global company that’s one of the “Big Four” international accountancy & professional services firms. It’s known for its dedicated Professional Qualification Team; which is a full-time team whose main job is to help employees gain qualifications.

And the interiors of their office support their leadership strategy; as there are no wall barriers between them, & team leaders are placed in the same area around the corner facing their teams. Also, senior leaders’ offices are located on the borders of the entire office area with their desks facing staff & nothing to separate them from one another but glass doors that are almost always
