Pros

Global exposure and client experience. Smaller office environment in smaller states makes it easier to come up with new ideas and get things done. Since becoming one operating model, marketing is very restricted to what Sydney office dictates.

Cons

Toxic culture, lack of leadership, lack of training for managers and confusion around managerial roles. Weak partnerships, token performance reviews, lack of accountability so that senior leaders can get away with being unethical. 'You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' type of environment, huge favouritism, and it matters who your dad is.

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.).
