Pros

KPMG has an excellent reputation in the market, and is making solid progress to becoming the top Big 4 Firm. There are a breadth of opportunities within the organization, and there is solid support in terms of training and career development. Having KPMG on your resume can definitely lead to great opportunities down the road - as they say, "KPMG is a great place to start your career".

Cons

Unfortunately, the benefits of KPMG come at a pretty high price, especially as you move up in level. There is a very cut-throat culture internally, especially within the Advisory practice. Team building and cross-functional cooperation is almost non-existent. You are remembered more for your deficits than for your accomplishments. KPMG is trying desperately to provide some structure and process around its go to market approach, but a pervasive territorial mentality is making it very difficult.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
