Pros

Quite simply....the people ! The entire company seems to be staffed with very bright, enthusiastic people who all (well...most) have very high degrees of emotional intelligence. It's a challenging an rewarding place to work. The wide ranging disciplines can be really useful as well for those wishing to gain experience of multiple industry sectors. For some there is also an opportunity to travel - although this isn't all good news - it can mean long days travelling but you do get to see some interesing places, meet some fascinating people and experience new cultures and ways of working

Cons

The hours can be long...and you can be away from home for long periods of time. If you like your 9-5 job - then this isn't the company for you.

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.).
