Pros

Good brand on resume, central location in downtown Toronto, good events put on ever so often.

Cons

Everyone backstabs everyone else, while nice people are eaten alive. Hours are absolutely insane, and the pay is not great to start with. Performance reviews are pointless because the ratings are decided behind closed doors by management before a discussion even starts to take place with the employee, so how is that fair or 360. All initiatives are recycled every few years, and are a waste of time.

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.).
