Pros

KPMG offers good benefits such as five weeks of personal time off (n.b. includes sick time). The medical, dental, and vision plans they offer are pretty good. They just reduced the minimum employer matching contribution for 401(k)s to 25% from 75%. The training and educational programs that KPMG offer are top notch and one will have smart and motivated coworkers.

Cons

Salaries for entry-level positions are allegedly (that's why one goes to glassdoor.com) a bit lower than they are at the other Big 4 Accounting firms. KPMG promotes their "Work/Life Balance" policy relentlessly, but its heavily dependent on which practice and particularly, which office one works at. Don't give out your cell phone number unless you plan on working during weekends and vacation anyways.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
