Pros

my experience was great and learned alot in my time there. there people were exceptional. very friendly, very smart, and always willing to help. i was able to sign up for recruiting and share my experiences with recruits, which i found rewarding. events were always fun, and there was always something to do.

Cons

the hours were the main downside of working at kpmg. alot of driving and clients not near your home. be prepared to work long hours, including weekends. most work is expected and clients view you as the enemy.

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

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
