Pros

KPMG, just like other Big 4, has a name in the industry. Working for KPMG allows one to interact to clients who are prospective employers as well. KPMG also has a good online training program that an employee who wants to utilize these can gain valuable knowledge about a slew of things. At the end of the day, a KPMG employee will have the opportunity to learn as much as the employee wants to learn as long as he/she puts in the time. I also believe that the management is usually supportive of employees who put in the effort to diversity one's skills.

Cons

One downside of working at KPMG is the amount of work required to perform especially during busy season. I think that one's life is literally put on hold because the busy season. Also, while it is firm's policy that one does not eat hours, it seems that management expects one to eat hours. As a firm, KPMG has different practices, and usually these practices are not very integrated. As such, I think it is difficult to move from one practice to another. I also think that moving to another location, although possible, requires more effort to do than just getting a new job at a different firm or company.

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.).
