Pros

Colleagues - ambitious, career-driven, and personable Company brand - having KPMG on your resume opens a lot of doors

Cons

Office politics - trying to get on a desirable project requires a lot of networking and going back and forth between the Partners and HR Horizontal movement - difficult to move between service lines; it's often times easier to apply to another Big 4 than it is moving within the company Salary/Benefits - compared to industry we're selling ourselves short but the experience and name is the trade-off

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.
