If you are a junior life can be hard at KPMG. Management does not encourage mobility as it makes their life difficult by losing a team member. Company wide bonus is depleted when firm targets are not met to ensure the discretionary bonus for managers and above are paid in full. 

It differs from team to team, maybe I have been especially unlucky, but in my role I am expected to put in 10-12 hour days everyday during busy season, even if managers have left before me. The turnover within my team is ridiculous (most people haven't even been here a year) and nobody has ever been promoted within team from assistant manager to manager. In three years i have never been to a client meeting. Loss making clients are kept for no other reason than it's better to have them. Juniors are then criticised for not being able to make the account profitable.
