Pros

Plenty of talented people that are mostly friendly (at least in the NYC - Park Avenue office). Benefits and vacation are comparable to other Big 4. Advancement seems relatively attainable.

Cons

Did not get any feedback on my performance. A lot of the partners are super intelligent but knowledge-sharing is not one of KPMG's strengths. This is exemplified by the KPMG intranet... poorly designed and painstakingly complicated. Many of the practices are inefficient, with a lot of downtime between assignments. Also, I believe there are too many "fire drills" that are needlessly created because of the poor method (or lack of a method) of disseminating work to employees. Sometimes work comes from your manager, from your senior managers, from partners, etc. No clear system of dividing work.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
