Pros
- good work/life balance (but I came from a banking background where I had to work much harder) - good benefits - interesting work (when you can get it)
Cons
- the politics, nothing gets done without the approval of about 5 different partners, all with different views and big egos - analysis by paralysis culture - completely disregard for its staff, I was surprised about this when I joined as KPMG had Won the Sunday Times best company to work for. It is all about which partner likes you and promotions, internal roles are based on that as opposed to merit - some silly decisions made just to keep face i.e. transfer the global Marketing & Knowledge management teams over to Canada - huge expense and not many people made the move - there are some exceptions of course but overall management does not lead, they manage (badly) and also no one listens and try to work out why morale is so low I left after a year, completely gobsmacked by the 'me first' culture I found in this place.
