Pros

1. The brand name of KPMG is very attractive to other companies. 2. Exposure to target and client management can be substantial 3. Great networking opportunities with others

Cons

1. Work/life balance can be a b**** some time 2. Personal time is often sacrificed 3. You have to force yourself to build "relationship" with managers, directors and partners so you could get onto projects 4. Transparency could be improved 5. It takes two or more to communicate messages - whether we have layoffs or not, let us know...

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.).
