Pros

Your career is rocketed forward. How else could you work your way from an entry level position, into a professional that is being sought after for executive positions with only 6-8 years of professional experience?

Cons

The hours are incredibly long, and the compenstion, well doesn't. Thats why turnover is so high, after a year of experience you can go elsewhere, work only 40hrs a week and get a much better compensation package. However, (inverse of above) as soon as you leave, your career progression slows down.

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.).
