Pros

This is a a good place build your career if you are coming out of college. The firm offers a lot of exposure to different kinds of business however you have a chance to get type casted. Above all, KPMG is working hard towards becoming the employer of choice and it offers good benefits .

Cons

Due to it being a partnership firm, there are a lot of secrecy towards sharing of financial numbers with employees or even finding out background information on events that may affect you - both financially or professionally. Promotions are not handled fairly - you need to be in good books of your partner. At the level of staff positions (associates/senior associates) there is no consideration of past experience and training (higher degrees like MS/MBA/PhD) that you may bring to the table - they do not hold much value.

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.).
