      Pros

      KPMG is a good company to start your career with. You'll be able to see the inner workings of your clients and find out what works and what doesn't. The compensation and benefits are also very good compared to other jobs coming out of college.

      Cons

      The hours can be long, and this varies by practice and office. Some groups work much more than others. Management is very inconsistent. Although the firm has no shortage of policies and codes of conduct, individual managers have a lot of discretion and can be erratic and inconsistent with their requirements. Some managers are very stingy in their performance reviews and others are generous.

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
