Pros

Great benefits and people are very nice. You get five weeks of vacation right off the bat! In my group, it usually not a problem to take the vacation as long as you put in on the calendar with enough notice so people can schedule accordingly. My performance manager is very candid and good about giving feedback. He's also great about making sure that I get the right experiences so that I can grown personally and professionally.

Cons

Scheduling on projects can be a bit erratic which may at times throw your social/personal life into upheaval. However, when coming into the industry you have to realize the nature of the beast you're getting yourself into. Client demands are a significant part of our business. Nonetheless, I usually find that I can make up the time when I'm in between projects or taking vacation.

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.).
