      Good for a year but not longer - Associate KPMG Employee Review

      Pros

      There is a lot of downtime between cycles and the frequently occurring housefires. The cafeteria is really great and very reasonable. They frequently have seasonal specials. You can order pies at Thanksgiving, a Corned beef dinner for St Pats! Every new employee gets a laptop.

      Cons

      You have to be in your position for 2 years before you can be promoted.  2 years is too long for most of the associate positions - especially when the job has been marginalized to the point of following written procedures - no thinking or learning required! Systems are antiquated and need improvement. They need to invest in some serious improvements

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
