OK if you are a graduate or just comfortable with a comfortable pay
Pros: - Generally flexible work-life balance if you are not busy with a client
- Reputable company which is always good to have on your CV
- Comfortable pay
Cons: - Communication isn't the best.
- Performance review does not exist. 
- Training is close to zero as the company believes in the 70:20:10 learning & development process. The issues with adopting this approach in KPMG are:
1. There isn't any clear or succinct documentations on the intranet for a new comer to learn from. You often rely on your Performance Development Managers, some of which don't know what they are doing. 
2. It is possible for one to be dumped into poorly managed jobs which are tough and time constrained to start with, and come out of it feeling exhausted. And, what do you learn from such tough jobs? You learn how not to manage time like the engagement managers who took on those jobs!

Overall, for such an approach to work, KPMG needs to ensure there are enough capable and competent managers and leaders in the company and in each job, allowing the newer ones to learn. If there isn't this in place, it would be akin to the blind following the blind.

3. Talent is often not noticed or appreciated.
