Pros

Looks great on a resume. Good way to start out your career since KPMG has training programs set up each year for the first few years you are with the firm.

Cons

Long hours are not negotiable. Plus once you are in a group it is very difficult to learn new things about the area you are in. Cross functional assignment are generally looked down upon unless there is a direct benefit to the firm.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
