Pros

Employ smart people Good opportunities to travel Work Life Balance was actually pretty good Was able to work on some interesting projects

Cons

National leadership doesn't seem to know where they are going Promotion criteria differs widely between offices Ridiculous amount of administrative time spent filling out spreadsheets, forecasting time and sitting on calls that go nowhere. Managers and Partners are terrible at working across service lines and guard their list of contacts in the industry to the detriment of the company KPMG was very reactive to the economic downturn rather than proactive Seattle office has lost over half of the Advisory staff in the last 15 months

Pros

Strong opportunities for career advancement as well as clear benchmarks to reach to progress through career. Good support from upper management on career development

Cons

Some employees may find company is too big and may get "lost in the shuffle." Also, employees may feel too specialized in their jobs and not receive as much exposure to other areas
