Pros

Well known, branded company. Great company culture with summer Fridays, a nice PTO package (varies according to level), fun events at work including a summer and holiday party. Lots of groups to join, depending on your interest (basketball to video games).

Cons

High level of distrust within the Strategic Sourcing and Procurement department between the department head and rest of the group. The culture within the company does not extend to this department such as work from home. No promotion potential - rather than promote from within when an opportunity arises, the department would rather hire externally. No transparency provided to the team. Communication is horrible. As a result, most are afraid of being let go (20% of the department was laid off a year ago, with new contractors and employees replacing those individuals on the SAME day).

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
