Pros

Offer discounts on gym memberships, etc.

Cons

Former admin asst at KPMG with nothing good to say about the company. Unfortunately, I was pigeon-holed into an admin position with no room for upward mobility. Bonus structure works only if you are in a client facing role. Admins do not get over 1% raise. The review/performance management process is not effective if you are not within a client facing role. No work/life balance.

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.
