Pros

KPMG has a great name associated with it. It is great for the resume. If you're willing to work hard, your can really zoom up the ladder as well. KPMG is always in the top 100 best places to start your career. Also, if you're a good worker, they'll pay for a lot of training, professional exams, or advanced schooling. KPMG is a very environmentally friendly place to work, and they are making big pushes to show their environmental responsibility as well as responsibility to the community. In addition to 5 weeks of paid vacation and 10 holidays, KPMG will give an extra 4 hours/ month of paid time off for community service, which can be added up and taken all in one week, if you desire. It makes you feel good to work for an employer who cares. KPMG also offers many international opportunities.

Cons

Though five weeks of vacation are authorized at KPMG, it's rather hard to actually take advantage of all five weeks. It is also looked down on somewhat by local management. Also, if you're a good hard worker and good at what you do, it means you're more likely to get promoted and pay raises, but it also means that the managers put you on more projects and you tend to get overworked. I also work in a smaller department with economists and finance professionals who aren't very social; therefore, I don't have any real friends at work to speak of.

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.).
