Pros

Looks great on a resume. Good way to start out your career since KPMG has training programs set up each year for the first few years you are with the firm.

Cons

Long hours are not negotiable. Plus once you are in a group it is very difficult to learn new things about the area you are in. Cross functional assignment are generally looked down upon unless there is a direct benefit to the firm.

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.).
