Pros

Great work-life balance, pretty good benefits, pretty good clients, decent opportunities for training

Cons

Depending on the market, promotional opportunities above manager are very difficult for racial and ethnic minorities. Decent place to start a career but not to build one. Senior leadership talks the talk for inclusion but makes no effort to insure lower levels provide equitable opportunities for all staff on prime assignments.

Pros

They used to have a great Advisory University, before they cut it

Cons

To understand KPMG, understand that the Partnership exists for the Partners, mostly to get wealthy. Not for the clients, not for the work, and certainly not for the development of the staff. There is constant, and I mean constant, lying by the partners. The behavior they exhibit they wouldn't tolerate for 2 seconds in the staff. To say they act like children is an insult to children. They are petty, intolerant, freely exhibit sexual abuse (both the female and male partners) and bicker and fight incessantly. Many, many Managing Directors cannot or will not sell or develop clients. So when a new opportunity arises, it's literally a free for all. Their strategy belittles their capabilities. They want to develop as the Robotics player, and have invested millions to do so to no effect. No one bought their Client on boarding tool. But that's what we have to sell. Thanks Leadership! Thanks for nothing. Because at the heart of KPMG is just an internal and external audit firm. That's it. Full stop. They pride themselves on be a meritocracy. Don't believe it for a minute. You can hit your numbers, year over year. Doesn't matter. If you aren't liked by the Partners (again KPMG exists just for them), forget it. Oh if you like getting 12 emails a week on submitting your time, KPMG might be the place for you. It's all they really care about. How much money they can make off of you. They require you to take vacation between Christmas and New Year's if you are not actively engaged. That's their values. Oh our partner leader was making about $800k, and insisted he needed to be on every engagement. Guess how that works out? Completely unsustainable business model.

Pros

Some good people, a lot of vacation time, all offices shut down for the Christmas holiday season, great benefits & base salary, good career opportunities

Cons

The CIO & IT leadership have turned the IT department (KTech) into an unethical and back-stabbing environment. Numerous employees have been given unfair & untrue performance reviews and many have been forced out. Several more employees have gone out on sick leave due to the stress of the job. This used to be a great place to work but not anymore.
