Favorite Thing About Working at KGM
It’s hard to pick just one favorite thing about working at KGM. From my smart and hardworking colleagues, to having the opportunity to meet equally talented client team members across the globe – I truly enjoy every day working at KGM. Every day is a new challenge and a new opportunity to learn with the best of the best and improve individually and as a firm. I love that at KGM the “Best Idea Wins,” which I have personally seen implemented several times during my tenure here, and has been a longstanding principle at the firm.
