Pros

Pay is good. Professional environment for the most part.

Cons

As a consultant at KPMG you can kiss your family, friends, and personal life goodbye. You are expected to work long hours and at times expected to do it for free even if you are an hourly consultant. Its ironic to see the many complaints from employees on this website because onsite they stand on a pedestal and look down on consultants. The sitting location for consultants has to be some kind of a code violation, they will stick 3 to 4 consultants into one cubicle, or worse put some folding tables in a poorly ventilated room and stick a bunch of people working elbow to elbow. I have more but you get the point, DO NOT work here as a consultant.

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.
