Pros

Snacks, Water, Coffee, good staples discount but I think got rid of that,

Cons

- Hiring out vs promotion internally - End of Year Compensation is a bell curve (Inflation has been INSANELY higher then salary increase. Upper management hoards all the money and distributes a very small amount to the TOP Performers, I mean 3 to 4 associates, 3 to 4 senior associates, and the rest are left with around 0-2% raises with no promotion) This createst a dog eat dog mentality, which CONTRADICTS the For the Better pillar they speak about. - Consulting ISNT problem solving, its making clients happy and most of the time upper management has absolutely no clue how to direct clients effectively, leading to countless pointless work for associate/senior associates/managers.

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.).
