Pros

Wide variety of work and projects to choose from (different industries and sectors, different transactions, opportunity for business development work even at a junior level) Internal moves and overseas secondments are highly encouraged Lots of investment in training & development Flexibility of working hours during downtimes

Cons

High degree of unpredictability in workload (little visibility over future projects and workload due to transaction-based projects). Not for those who prefer a stable life. High tendency for partners/directors to be reactive towards client needs, even if demands are unreasonable Lacking investment in IT infrastructure (PC specs are too low to open multiple spreadsheets and documents without crashing!)

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.).
