Pros

Wide variety of work and projects to choose from (different industries and sectors, different transactions, opportunity for business development work even at a junior level) Internal moves and overseas secondments are highly encouraged Lots of investment in training & development Flexibility of working hours during downtimes

Cons

High degree of unpredictability in workload (little visibility over future projects and workload due to transaction-based projects). Not for those who prefer a stable life. High tendency for partners/directors to be reactive towards client needs, even if demands are unreasonable Lacking investment in IT infrastructure (PC specs are too low to open multiple spreadsheets and documents without crashing!)

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
