Pros

KPMG is a solid firm with solid ethics and leadership. Compared to the other Big 4, I find that KPMG is the most laid back of the four with all around good people. You really do get treated there as you treat others. It's about as a merit-based organization as you can get.

Cons

Information and knowledge management are huge issues at KPMG. Not only are there issues sharing information between member firms (between countries), but there isn't great sharing of information even intra-firm.

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.).
