Pros

Excellent gain of experience and learning at first years; Very nice co-workers;

Cons

too much arrogance among managerial stuff, excluding partners; there is a good performance valuation system, but it doesn't work effectively, as many things are discussed 'behind the curtains' , many thing are influenced by personal preferences rather then professional competencies; relatively low remunerations

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
