Pros

The flexibility in work life balance. Although there is not as much freedom with respect to our Audit and Tax branches, freedom and independence are excellent in the Advisory practice. KPMG, compared to other BIG FOUR accounting firms, offers 5 weeks of vacation - much more than you'd get at D&T, E&Y and PWC for non-management/staff.

Cons

Organization when it comes to scheduling is sometimes lacking and percentage of travel can be very high.

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.
