Pros

Structured job ladder. Lots of free booze. Peers are often your around your age. Trainings are fantastic. Good breadth of experience. Good opportunities to network, in and out of the firm.

Cons

Hard work doesn't always pay off. Lots of politics. Getting to know the partners is more than important than it should be. Pushes work life balance but doesn't always allow for it. Some projects are better than others, and staff have limited say in which projects they get. Too many administrative responsibilities on top of projects.

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.).
