Sexual Harrassment Rampant by Upper Management
Pros: In the time I worked here, I learned a ton, worked in several different industries and traveled extensively but the whole experience has been overshadowed by harassment from upper management, and I am not alone in that experience.
Cons: There is a culture of sexual harassment in the KPMG Strategy Practice. It seems to be tacitly approved by management, so women don't bother to report it and male, upper management treat this place like a playground on which to prey on young women. Due to this, women have been leaving the firm IN DROVES and the female diversity numbers have completely tanked. 

Things that myself and other women experienced at KPMG include: being subject to inappropriate sexual jokes, upper management watching pornography on their computers during work and showing it to the female employees, being looked up and down by upper management, inappropriate comments from upper management on appearance, being winked at by upper management during meetings, getting passed over for promotions because of the "boys club" mentality, and receiving less pay for equal work. 

To further these points, KPMG US is facing a $350m (£243m) class action gender discrimination lawsuit. More information on this is easily accessible via a google search. 

Additionally, Upper Management is extremely unethical in how they handle clients' money. They regularly spend it on obscenely expensive team dinners, late night/early morning bar tabs, strip clubs, and use tricky expense reporting to cover it up. These activities always occur in the middle of the week and when the client is paying for work to be performed the day after the team has partied all night. Additionally, it is not uncommon for upper management to not show up for work the night after partying, and then lie to the client about "working remotely". 

Male or Female, this is not a work environment that promotes ethical business practices, professionalism or inclusion.
