Pros

Lots of opportunities to gain project experience and get good business insights. Friendly, young colleagues. Every year new budget for (external) trainings. Some good company events. Lots of training papers/documents.

Cons

Due to the project work, worktime often has peaks with >10h/days. Non-transparant salary bargaining rounds by management-board. Ratio of billable hours is the only key figure that matters, despite line manager and additional project feedbacks. Low salary

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
