Pros

Reputation as market leader in local market.

Cons

Lip service to diversity. Brought professionals of diverse backgrounds as token representatives for diversity due to KPMG Global’s pressure. KPMG Ireland leadership created barriers for professionals of minority backgrounds with stellar credentials and work ethic to a point where they could not function within the organisation (let alone grow and flourish within the organisation). Management / leadership of KPMG Ireland did not allow those diverse professionals to move to other KPMG country practices either. KPMG Ireland leadership / management would present those diverse professionals as ineffective and thus essentially closed off their career opportunities altogether (just so that KPMG Ireland would not come across as racist and insular to other KPMG country practices). Cynical, in a word. Rinse and repeat with other candidates of diverse backgrounds.

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.
