Pros

- Compensation is Competitive (Received a 23% raise with 10% Bonus) - Working with intelligent, young people for the most part - Technology is great and we are moving fast in that direction - Great way to advance your career very quickly

Cons

- Some engagement managers, most directors, and all partners do not contribute to anything until it is done then they screw it all up. Need to be more involved and treat the KPMG employees better than the client. - VERY cuthroat and political. If you get on the wrong persons bad side, then you can kiss any good projects away, at least from him/her. - The potential to be in one practice (Consulting), but able to be placed on a long term project that delays your growth in your field and thus hurts your chances of being promoted.

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.
