Vantaggi

One of the Big 4 accounting firms, i.e., name recognition

Svantaggi

Since joining KPMG - Advisory in 2017, there have been no less than two reorganizations and two RIFs (reductions in force, or layoffs). The voluntary turnover here is also extremely high, so there is no sense of team because it's a revolving door. Most importantly, senior management has no idea what they're doing; constantly undertaking reorgs and RIFs to address profitability but nothing seems to work. The funny thing is that it's the Partners and Principals of the practice that really drive revenue and profits (they are the rainmakers) , and when they fall short (a constant problem), the "solution" is layoff staff. Staff is not the problem, the problem is at the top. Also, bad ethics violations and scandals in the news recently; who would want to associate themselves with that?

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.).
