Pros

This job really pushed me out my comfort zone, by working in different projects in many industries. I liked the high standards and the opportunity to learn from top executives. I liked a lot the team dynamics, we had a lot of pressure but even if this is counter-intuitive there was a great team building too.

Cons

You live constantly under pressure, so you have to be very good at handling it or just leave this type of role. Plus it really is very demanding, so there may be life balance issues. You need to take this into account when taking the role.

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.).
