Pros

Good work environment Good work life balance Decent pay Nice people

Cons

Too many compliance restrictions Less focus on client delivery and wins Very small projects which will limit your technology exposure. Very poor IT infrastructure Once you fall on the wrong side of compliance, you do not have any tools to challenge the claim of non- compliance. Ex: timesheet miss is a non- compliance, but you do not get an email once you submit timesheet, so you will not be able to prove with an email timestamp. Same case with trainings, you do not get any confirmation emails once you complete a training, once they flag you for late completion of training, there are no tools available to challenge company’s claim at your disposal. There are heavy fines for non compliance like delayed completion of trainings. It is also a common practise to cancel the hike and bonus along with fines. Please do not join if you take your trainings and other internal KPIs lightly and focus on client deliverables more

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
