Pros

I would say the best reason to work at KPMG is the amount of vacation time you get during your first year.

Cons

The hours are long and not fun. You do not always get treated with the amount of respect one deserves.

Pros

KPMG offered a salary that is higher than I could get working in industry. There is plenty of vacation time, volunteer opportunities and you can earn a lot of CPEs. The people are intelligent, generally very nice and willing to help out others in order for the project to succeed. Everyone is motivated to perform at a high level but do no back stab to get ahead. Being in Advisory, I learned a lot by working with other Advisory practices, but also alongside the Audit and Tax groups. The opportunity to work along side them provided an incredible experience.

Cons

Advisory work is a commodity, so there will times in which it is feast or famine. It is difficult to manage work/life balances because of the extremes but you're typically less than 100% utilized. There are way more CPEs available than you could ever complete although the training could be stronger. Education online seems outdated and the classes at Advisory University only scratch the service of topics. Management is quick to relay positive information about the Firm but keeps remaining employees in the dark about downsizing.

Pros

Very keen to help you develop and give you training with a superb array of courses. Considerable flexibility on hours, holidays etc once you are more senior.

Cons

Pay was just OK. Some people seemed to be promoted by vurtue of how long they had been there rather than genuine ability, though this was changing when I left.
