Pros

If what you want is to be a consultant, this is the place to be! The exposure you get to the best companies in the industry and thus the knowledge and experience you get is unparalleled!

Cons

On the downside, the job of a consultant can be very demanding! Long hours and thus physical exhaustion is to be expected! Also, the inability to focus on any one service offering till you reach senior management level makes you the 'Jack-of-all-trades' as opposed to an expert in any one service. Also pay is low till you reach Management level.

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.).
