Pros

25 days of vacation. nice office. nothing much to say. The annual salary raise is well below inflation rate and, not too mention, the rental raise in New York City.

Cons

KPMG has too much politics. There is lack of learning opportunity. Salary is not competitive. The work is long hour. The morale is low except for the new-comers. The staff people are taken seriously about quality of work but totally lack of recognition. The management does not have any respect. they have very poor time management. If they have problem, they will blame it down to the staff. If they have credit, they take them all by themselves. Staff people feel like working hard for nothing because all credits has been taken by management level. People who gets promotion are people who play game with the management, but not the people who do the hard work. Ethics is bad in office. therefore KPMG has such a high employee turnover rate. The annual salary raise is well below inflation rate and, not too mention, the rental raise in New York City.

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.
