Pros

Respectful, supportive and collaborative culture Great people with a nice balance of high IQ and EQ Key investments in people development - lots of opportunities to learn every day. Significant efforts being placed in leading in Digital, Data and AI, Cyber, M&A support and Sustainability. Fantastic training and meeting center experience at KPMG Lakehouse

Cons

* Alliance staff, support staff, marketing staff have limited upward mobility. Only those who work directly with key firm leaders seem to get promoted * Random, periodic layoffs which may continue if the economy remains soft - Lately, it seems if you aren't client facing -or are client facing and not making your quotas, your shelf life may be limited at KPMG.

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.).
