      KPMG: Partnership of Favoritism

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many interesting and genuine colleagues provide guidance and assistance.

      Cons

      Highly political and little job security. Often people are promoted on the strength of their ability to network with the right partner or higher echelon director and with little regard to their talent or credentials. If you do not have a partner protector you are in dangerous waters. I was part of a group that was let go because one notorious partner wanted to get rid of one employee so to cover his tracks he let go of the entire group of 20.

      Good learning experience, depressing personal growth, but pedigree follows after you get smart and leave.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great learning curve for technical aspects of your service line (Audit, Tax, Advisory) and there is absolutely a benefit to learning how to work hard. A large part of the market value of a KPMG alumnus is the ability to work hard without expecting very much. Lots of Vacation time right off the bat.

      Cons

      There is a heavy focus on keeping associates, seniors, and to an extent managers, away from real quality discussions with clients. I personally felt like my public speaking, interviewing, and general discussion skills suffered after 2-3 years being told to stay back and work, as opposed to creating relationships. There is a big focus on "chargeability". While this is beneficial for the company, it almost expects employees to forget that every hour of overtime they work reduces their own hourly value. Work/Life Balance is only an initiative because otherwise it would be SO BAD. Vacation is plentiful, but is often needed just to de-stress from the work. On that note, see discussion with management on vacation
