Pros

25 Days Vacation The relationship with upper management is really good. You get feedback on a regular basis from many different managers at different levels. The firm has an emphasis on work life balance. They allow you to be flexible with work schedules as long as you still get your work finished. KPMG encourages and allows for rotations to different places around the world. KPMG also has many short term travel opportunities that you can encounter when working at all levels of the organization.

Cons

Longer work weeks than you will find in "industry", but the same as other big 4. Sometimes you can look back and find that your month was crazy traveling all over the place, but it does not seem bad if you are ok with a changing environment.

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.).
