Pros

Exposure to clients. Yearly promotion.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely determined on your luck, and unfortunately in audit, luck tends to run dry. You can have bad clients, bad seniors or managers or terrible workload...worse if it is all at once. Politics runs amok and I've seen perfectly decent workers punished over minor mistakes and major screw ups hand waved simply because of favoritism. You cant take leave on busy season, which for some is whole year. Expect to sacrifice all your weekends. Kiss goodbye a decent social life. If you're single, expect to remain single. For the hours you work and pay, this job and industry really isn't worth the trouble and stress and it is not improving any time soon if ever. If you're a fresh grad and struggling to find employment like I was in 2020, take this job only as an absolute last resort. As in, you can't even get a SME job. In the mean time, continue to look for better jobs.

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.).
