Pros

Sometimes the there are food scraps left in the staff kitchen from meetings and Partner breakfasts, which you can feast upon. Definitely some of my fondest memories from my time with this company.

Cons

Long hours, no work/life balance, unapproachable management, politics, very narrow career path for an engineer, boring and repetitive routine tasks. Evening and weekend work 6.5 days out of 7. You can feel yourself aging on a daily basis, and many of my co-workers looked 5 years older than they were.

Pros

Some people are really good to work for but these people are extremely rare! One might argue that there is some brand equity as it is one of the Big 4 - all I can say is that it is a lot more glamorous on the outside than it is on the inside!

Cons

Everyone below Manager is a junior resource! Salaries are the lowest of the Big 4, in most cases not even comparable to mid-tier firms. Professionals with two qualifications command a premium at other firms, at KPMG you seem to have to settle for even less! Professional subs are not paid as supposedly our compensation sufficiently covers this (really?)! Double whamy if you are in tax as you have two prof subs to pay (makes it worse when the firm charges clients a premium for your dual qualification)! Work life balance? What is that? Extremely long hours - which aren't appreciated. Politics. Progression is restricted to those who know how to play the system. Constant flip-flopping when it comes to strategy and vision!

Pros

good work conditions, pick up and drop facilities.good for people interested in Backend jobs.

Cons

No personal life, long working hours,verification of employment is an extremely monotonous function and it can hinder your IQ eventually, unrealistic expectations of performance from employees, no grievance policies for employees, no growth, Seniors are unethical and unprofessional in their approach of handling any team or individual issues. Also this process does not allow carrying of phones inside the office. Note pads, packed food,even post-its are not allowed.- Happy memorising!
