Pros

The only reason I would work for KPMG is to get my CA designation.

Cons

Although the recruitment team preaches work life balance, this is far from the truth. Especially during busy season. The team you are placed on either makes or breaks it for you. When you are all cramped in a stuffy office for 15 hours a day for 2 months it helps to have a good team haha. Also overtime hours are not paid out to you. But there has been new legislation regarding the eligibily of employees to be paid overtime. Hopefully this will help in some respects.

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.
