Pros

There are good people here, but they don't stay long

Cons

System allows bad actors to make it to the top, focus on revenue without adding client value isn't a winning proposition, turning a blind eye to legal and ethical violations will catch up with the firm, providing employee benefits on paper to make the "best places to work surveys" but having managers limit their actual use is a terrible practice

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.).
