      Pros

      Tons of time off, and lots of different types of people to interact with.

      Cons

      Very long hours, not a lot of recognition from management when you do a good job, but tons of feedback when something you do isn't good or is incorrect. There is very little work/life balance, because it is a client-focused company. Travel can be spur of the moment, and for months at a time, with not even a pat on the back when the travel is completed. Bosses can be very two-faced, telling you to do one thing while they do the other. There is not a lot of guidance, and instead they have you keep trying until you get something the way they want it.

      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.).
