Pros

- Competitive salary - 31 days of vacation

Cons

- There is not any team spirit. - Culture around the money and job title. - Very long work days. I heard about people working more than 12h in a day. - High pressure directly from managers and indirectly from colleagues. - Managers don't care about workers as humans. - Lots of toxic people. - Mediocre colleagues. - Managers do not listen your problems, they just assign tasks to you. - Lies everywhere. - Sometime you have to do tasks completely irrelevant to your job position. - The learning platform and courses/events of the company are not taken seriously at all. They prefer you to complete work as a machine rather than learn and improve. - Overall, very bad working atmosphere. Probably, I've forgotten about a few more cons but with those you can draw an idea in your mind. I was happy just two days: the first day and the last day at work. Personally, I think the pros do not compensate the cons.

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.).
