Pros

KPMG offers good training program to new employees and there is great opportunitiy to get exposure of a variety of industries. This would be a good opportunity for someone who is interested in working in a fast paced, dynamic and deadline-driven enrivonment to get oneself fast pushed all the time.

Cons

Too much overtime working and sometimes unpaid for the time you overworked. For mega IPO projects, staff are responsible for finding hotels by themselves and usually due to the fact that the KPMG will pay the bill, the budget becomes extremely tight and from time to time hotel conditions are poor. Turnover rate is high always and staff do not have much freedom in choosing the projects they are interested in. Sometimes the process is much like a lottery and someone who is unlucky enough may ended up with a eleven months business trip out of the city.

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.
