Pros

The firm takes very good care of its people. The benefits, including medical, dental, vision, etc, combined with the 5 weeks paid vactaion per year is great. Great industry experience also.

Cons

The long hours and weekends of busy season can be difficult. However, most employees will usually have only two or three onths of busy season work each year. The rest of the year is a very normal 40-hour work week.

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.).
