Pros

Driven Colleagues Sense of team camaraderie

Cons

Like the shadow monster in Stranger Things KPMG takes over your life re-arranging your priorities in favor of it's own gain Busy Season stretches out for at least half a year Budgets keep getting smaller and Scopes keep getting bigger Unhealthy work schedules are indirectly encouraged under the guise of being 'efficient' Poor engagement planning leads to employees being forced to take on ridiculous amounts of work in order to meet high utilization expectations There is the assumption that the budget is always right, and if the team exceeds it team/individual inefficiency is to blame

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
