      Pros

      I worked with an amazing team (KLA) with very creative minds. Very diverse work environment, where cultural diversity and inclusivity was championed. CSQ was quite a pleasant place to work in. KPMG was particularly flexible (in terms of hours) and supportive during the lockdown.

      Cons

      KPMG has a lot of processes in place that are painful. Very rigid for international employees during the lockdown. We weren't allowed to work from abroad, even within the legal period of three months, which was highly unfair. The performance review process was absolutely crap, with a capping system that only allowed a number of people for each band, regardless of individual performance.

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
