Pros

Career advancement, brand-name clients and ample training. Opportunity to travel if you like it and good performance management system. For the most part, co-works are intelligent from top schools. Opportunities to cross-roles meaning you can work in IT but then maybe work in finance if you are up for it. Lots of social activities for those without families.

Cons

lack of work/life balance, partner promises too much and travel. Difficult place to work and raise a family. Compensation is on the lower-hand of the Big 4. Disparate systems for time keeping, training and other stuff - it would nice to have a portal for all onlie needs.

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.).
