Pros

You have the opportunity to work alone for clients as a junior like you were a Manager. It is possible as no Finance person with enough experience wants to come work for KPMG.

Cons

You work long hours with an exposition to clients even at the junior level so if you succeed you're really under paid (1st year analyst starts at 38k€). Team is full with lunatics that never got the opportunity to move and the entire team think they have to laugh at every Partner bad joke. Really bad environment.

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.).
