Pros

Good people Not very cut throat Offices in every large- and mid-sized US city, which provides good mobility for those who need it Brand new offices

Cons

Their MC practice just doesn't attract A-level talent both at experienced hire level (all levels) or entry level... senior managers who have been jumping ships, managers with no consulting experience, partners who are not selling, etc. What that means is that if you are in MC for experience and learning, KPMG is not going to be able to provide you that. Do yourself a favor and look for MC placement with Booz and Co., ATK, Accenture, etc. It is also pretty evident from the fact that they mainly end up doing low level (e.g., inventory assessment, spend analysis, etc.) assessment work and little strategy and/or real design and implementation work. KPMG MC's financial management practice is somewhat better than their Business Effectiveness practice in terms of higher impact projects, quality of work, quality of talent, etc.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
