Office politics, favoritism, low wages, poor work life balance will be the ruin of KPMG
Pros: - Most people are intelligent and friendly at KPMG International (shared services)

- There are many opportunities to move to various teams (but the pay is always low)
- The company is involved in many charitable events 
- Increasingly focused on going green
- Training opportunities
Cons: - Low pay
- It's impossible to strike a balance between work and life
- Office politics that can suck the life out of you
- Office environment not conducive to working effectively
- KPMG has the worst HR department in all of Canada  (they will lose your files, screw up your paycheque, forget to follow up on important matters, contradict themselves...)
- There is an atmosphere of fakery among some leadership
- Favoritism is appalling
- Most teams are understaffed
- Little flexibility with regards to work hours (8:30 - 5 shift with rarely any flexibililty)
