Pros

An amazing benefits package; one of the best I've ever seen. Ample PTO, excellent insurance options, 401(k) and a pension plan. Great use of PeopleSoft to communicate benefits information. Very much invested in "going green".

Cons

Little room for advancement if you're on the support side; cramped quarters. This is yet another professional services company that makes it clear that if you're not on the client-facing side, you're easily replaced and not of much value. Projects involving more than one group that aren't considered crucial by senior management can take months to complete. Moving quickly is impossible. Because this is a global company, the intranet is a behemoth and nearly impossible to browse efficiently. The culture KPMG attempts to create does not consistently drill down to all levels, which is very disappointing.

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
