Pros

Great opportunity to enter the world of consulting. Each office is pretty small so you should be able to meet everyone and learn a lot relatively quickly. It's a good place to be young, single and ready to feel important because you'll be getting lots of emails and working lots of hours. The reward is that as hard as they work, they will party equally hard. Lots of singles and lots of "grey zones."

Cons

Least mature of the big four. The methodologies are very make-shift so that you may not get the right lesson in "fundamentals."

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.).
