Pros

* Good pay * As you move up, the earning potential is amazing * Lots of PTO * Lots of diversity networks * Lots of cheerleading about how much you matter * KPMG likes to really market all the best in breed awards they get

Cons

* Lots of attrition. KPMG seems to have a problem retaining talent. * When the reality of what your wage actually is sets when you consider the hours you have to work. There's little to zero work life balance. During recruitment, KPMG will talk a good game about WLB, your career, your professional development, and how much you matter to the company but that's all a lie. Everyone is too busy to care about any of that. * Mislead about the responsibilities of the job * The technology KMPG uses is obsolete, primitive, and poorly designed. * Hierarchical work environment. Retaliation is a thing at KPMG. Those promoted are done based on their sales rather than their leadership ability. * If you're not on a track for promotion, you may as well just leave the company. Hard work and volunteering only gets you more work. Performance management is so wide ranging that technically, nobody can really meet all the standards. So management always has an "out" to tell you "no". Promotions are done not on merit but on who you know.

Pros

The Insurance program that it has.

Cons

I was bullied in the workplace. I took all the avenues that I was supposed to take I went to HR I went to the ethics group and nothing has happened. I end up being sick, I lost my hair and I end up really having emotional problems and I eventually resigned from the position. My bully have been with the company for 20+ years and she told me that if I was to go to HR or even to the ethics group that I would be fired. My bully knew everyone and they listened to her. I was at a loss with no one backing me or even trying to help. This could have caused my life. The funny thing about this is that KPMG is not the first accounting firm that I worked for. I’ve worked for the two #1 accounting firms in Chicago, in which I had a great experience. I thought if I worked for KPMG that I would add a great addition to my career endeavors. I ended up with many doctor bills, emotional problems and permanent damages. I quit my former position in the Chicago area as an Executive Assistant. Now others within the Chicago area has been calling me to let me know that she’s going around saying that I was fired. So the bullying has not stopped, she is still bullying me by demeaning my name. I am now forced to take legal action.
