Great place for those who like change and diversity
Pros: Opportunity for continuous professional advancement through exposure to a large number of global companies, access to significant players within each industry, well-established knowledge base and infrastructure and most of all working with cross-functional teams with strong experience in their respective field. In addition, there are number of opportunities to undertake international and inter-department long-term assignments to expand the experience in other areas of the business. And most of all, KPMG seems to have managed to keep a casual environment of friendly, informal and open communication where all are treated equaly and with respect.
Cons: Often, the advisory work requires a significant time on the road and working very long hours which makes it very hard to spend quality time with the family and friends, maintain healthy lifestyle and engage in personal hobbies. As with any large corporation, the fruits of bureaucracy spoil the good environment and create inefficiencies and as with any business oriented corporation, the individual's philosophy is strongly materialistic.
