Pros

The benefits are pretty good. The firm offers a pension plan, which most companies no longer offer. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities.

Cons

Horrible work schedule, no life/work balance. It is all about who you know, no recognition for a job well done and poor raises. EMC (engagement management coordinator) role and the department is a joke. The PML and manager walk around with smiles and act like they are perfect. They have no clue what is going on with the employees in the department, 75% of the department is seeking other employment. Don't trust them with anything!

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.).
