Pros

Generally, KPMG is a good option for launching a career. The people who work at KPMG are hardworkers and high achievers. It is nice to be surrounded by individuals at a similar stage in life with similar goals. KPMG provides good global mobility, however the mobility within a local area or state is limited by the availability of large businesses and clients. Having been with the firm for nearly two years I am still proud of the integrity with which KPMG conducts business and the high level of "professional care" exhibited by the employees.

Cons

The downside to working at KPMG is the up or out culture. Each year KPMG hires a large start class of fresh college graduates, need them or not. This has lead to lay-offs, which create an atmosphere of unease and fear.

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.
