Vantaggi

The best reasons for working at KPMG are: 1) Opportunity to work in a Big Four environment 2) Great raises and fair bonus structure 3) Flexibility in schedule (e.g., working from home)

Svantaggi

The downsides of working at KPMG are: 1) Boring work (unless you love accounting) 2) Awful work/life balance for no reason (long hours simply because Partners are at a client site -- not due to to heavy workloads) 3) The fact that everyone is promoted each year, regadless of performance 4) Inefficient process (hard copy workpapers, and a highly inefficient end to end audit process) 5) Negative working environment

Vantaggi

A lot of smart people to learn from

Svantaggi

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.
