Pros

KPMG is a great training ground for fresh graduates who either want to build a career in the field of accounting or has not determined what to do as a career. One will gain a lot of work experiences with different industries, companies, clients, and people. KPMG also offer good internal training programs. Also, KPMG managment is good in recognising and rewarding good work.

Cons

Probably similar to other Big 4 firms, working at KPMG means long working hours and lots of travelng (especially in the advisory practice). During busy times, one needs to work 12-15 hours a day (not including the time spent in training, administration, and traveling). Therefore, there isn't much personal time. However, when the economy is down, one may stay in the office whole day doing nothing.

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.

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.
