Pros

Large network of resources, excellent training (both technical and soft-skills), brand recognition within the industry, and opportunities for travel are all available at KPMG.

Cons

Same issues here as there are at many firms: extreme favoritism when it comes to raises, promotions, and recognition, issues with work-life balance, difficulty balancing views of management and staff when it comes to feedback. KPMG seems to be the most reactionary of the Big 4 when it comes to issues, changes in corporate culture, and technology, and that makes it very frustrating to envision staying here more than three to four years. Turf wars, in addition, are to be expected but I would expect senior management to understand the impact and take steps to reign the counterproductive pieces of those games in, but they don't.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
