Disappointing

Pros

Ability to get somewhat useful experiences on your CV, but only after suffering many mind numbing assignments and proving to be a work horse

Cons

- Partners don't care about you or your personal time/life; you are interchangeable to them and nothing more than a means for them to bill more hours and increase their own pay - Result is horrible hours and total disregard of your personal well being; regularly expected to work over or give up PTO; if you express any unwillingness to give all for the Firm you are either called lazy/uncoachable or met with or empty promises of future relief that never comes - Very high turnover due to the above

All of the above; the good, the bad, and the ugly

Pros

Benefits with pension, looks good on your resume/leverage, ability to work from home, structured, opportunity to grow (based on a strict plan)

Cons

You will notice favoritism, a lack of work-life-balance, a lack of inclusiveness in the actual everyday environment—even though due to company policy, they strategically give the illusion of inclusiveness as an emphasized value. It can be a toxic corporate environment, there's a lot of 'sneakiness' that goes on based on consistent word-of-mouth in my experience. Keep in mind that it is not a unionized firm to work for so they could let you go at any point without reason – I've seen good employees disappear. They claim to have a system in-place to avoid being blindsided in suddenly being let go but (based on favouritism); you will be blindsided regardless and they will pay you off – the Labour Board and/or lawyers cannot help you as a result. People who work for KPMG bleed KPMG so do not trust everyone.
