Pros

The best reasons to work at KPMG have to be the vacation time and the opportunity to advance both within the company and elsewhere. The Company tries to do little things to make the employees feel valued (gifts, extra days off, parties, etc), but it often doesn't make a significant impact. Management seems to care and most of the people are genuinely good people with the best intentions.

Cons

The work itself is awful. The hours during the spring are ridiculous and there is an expectation that working all the time is expected and is something to admire. Work should support one's life, work should not be one's life. The vacation time is nice (25 days), but it is necessary to endure the constant irritation that is the average day at work.

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.).
