Pros

Good name on resume - probably only pro

Cons

The GMS - Mobile Consulting Services is horrible. First off, the team is made up of Type A personality, NJ women. Very aggressive, immature, childish - as if they never left high school. All they do is gossip about one another, cause drama, talk behind people's backs. One employee's close family member passed away - they did not let her take off two days, "only one day as per procedure." This place is absolutely disgusting. They abuse their team, everyone is treated worse than dogs. The name on the resume is not worth the hell you will go through in this place. THREE PEOPLE LEFT IN SIX MONTHS.

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.).
