Pros

Working for KPMG looks great on resumes. KPMG company leadership values employees and offers many perks from vacation to discounts on cars & electronics.

Cons

Senior Leadership in Strategic Sourcing and Procurement shows lack of respect for employees and is condescending to staff in meetings. KPMG is known for alternate work arrangements which is not granted to staff. Different rules apply to different people. Leadership has showed "everyone is disposible" by firing 20% of staff and hiring Contractors with the same titles the SAME day. Staff keep boxes under their desks in anticipation of being "let go." Work load is unevenly distributed. Ideas and concerns voiced by staff are not entertained nor addressed. No common direction or communication when it comes to advising business teams. Department is heavily micromanaged.

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
