Going downhill fast
Pros: Smart co-workers as in any Big Four.  Exposure to sophisticated and intelligent clients as in any Big Four.
Cons: After most of the restrictions related to the Deferred Prosecution Agreement expired KPMG decided to try and move up from perennial fourth to something higher in The Big Four.  Among the new ideas, cram people into open work cubes to blatantly save rent expense while treating employees and partners like cattle, and then have the gall to call it "The Workplace of The Future."  Now they launch this ridiculous campaign to build morale (no compensation increases, but two additional days off for those who drink the kool aid), emphasizing themes as if KPMG were an altruistic NGO instead of a highly qualified for-profit audit tax and advisory firm.  You have to see some of the posters to believe them.  The place is going to hell in a hand basket while senior management in New York slap each other on the back over their latest weird ideas.
