Great Company, Awful Politics
Pros: KPMG defends its brand and prestige vigorously, so they do everything possible to hire and retain the best people. This means great benefits, competitive pay, caring about work/life balance, and plenty of flexibility in ones schedule and choice of work location. These come with high expectations and long hours, however.
Cons: Very little upward mobility unless you luck out in the politics game, adopt the 1900's hierarchy, and develop a robust vocabulary of buzzwords and cliches. As a partnership, there is also an unclear leadership structure and a glaring lack of salespeople.
