Pros

Great experience and a great learning environment. You will work with many intelligent people at KPMG. This is a great company to work for to gain initial job experience. Salary was very good compared to most other industries. I would consider this a consultant type position at comparing salaries.

Cons

Depending on your group, there could be quite a bit of travel. Also, promotion and advancement is dependent on how well certain management speaks up on your behalf. You will also work an average of 50-60 hours per week. Not conducive to a "normal" home and family life. I saw that peers with families had a very difficult time with life/work balance.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
