Pros

Structured job ladder. Lots of free booze. Peers are often your around your age. Trainings are fantastic. Good breadth of experience. Good opportunities to network, in and out of the firm.

Cons

Hard work doesn't always pay off. Lots of politics. Getting to know the partners is more than important than it should be. Pushes work life balance but doesn't always allow for it. Some projects are better than others, and staff have limited say in which projects they get. Too many administrative responsibilities on top of projects.

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
