Pros

There is not one good reason to work for KPMG, unless you want to commit career suicide. You can find better.

Cons

1. Upper management - Too many levels, unlikely to voice any concerns on how projects are being run. 2. Senior management does not know what senior managers are doing in regards to running the business like a cheap MultiLevel Marketing scheme. 3. For an Audit firm they are not honest as they practice double booking clients, or at least some senior managers. 4. No work life balance - In fact was hired on for 40 hour weeks and then told that we needed to do 50 hour weeks to catch up on work (even though the client was charged for the extra time). This in normal project would be called going over budget or deadlines, this would not be a best practice exercise for companies who want to grow. 5. Not personable - very cold and corporate 6. Sarbanes Oxley is the only thing keeping this company floating.

Name recognition, WFH stipend, 401k match, Travel opportunities

Cons

Horrible insurance - my new company's insurance is 1/5th the cost with 5x the coverage. Relocating is nearly impossible. Rotating to other teams is also nearly impossible. The culture is extremely toxic. Seniors and managers will tell you to your face you did a good job on something, only to tear you to shreds behind your back to the partners. Utilization goals and work life balance are both impossible. You will not realize how horrible it is to work at this company until you leave. I received more respect working in fast food than I did here. Leadership is the opposite of transparent. We were not informed about layoffs until 8am on the morning of layoffs. This company pays plenty of money to get ranked highly on different workplace rating articles, but let me assure you they view you as an input of labor and nothing else. Management does a horrendous job of planning out engagements and will always have you working until 3am the night before something is due, even if they knew about the deadline months in advance. The pay is obscenely below market and the bonus structure is pathetic.
