      Pros

      It is a big 4. Exit options are excellent every advancement. If accounting is your chosen profession, then it is a great place to launch your career and get ahead. CPA preparation courses are paid by the firm. There are possibilities overseas - again, big 4 name carreis a long way.

      Cons

      Relatively low compensation considering that one has a CPA.

      A good starting point for undergraduate but not an ideal place for career until you do not care about life quality

      Pros

      KPMG offers good training program to new employees and there is great opportunitiy to get exposure of a variety of industries. This would be a good opportunity for someone who is interested in working in a fast paced, dynamic and deadline-driven enrivonment to get oneself fast pushed all the time.

      Cons

      Too much overtime working and sometimes unpaid for the time you overworked. For mega IPO projects, staff are responsible for finding hotels by themselves and usually due to the fact that the KPMG will pay the bill, the budget becomes extremely tight and from time to time hotel conditions are poor. Turnover rate is high always and staff do not have much freedom in choosing the projects they are interested in. Sometimes the process is much like a lottery and someone who is unlucky enough may ended up with a eleven months business trip out of the city.

      Great place to work if public accounting is what you want.

      Pros

      For anyone who just graduated from school with a business major KPMG is definitely one of the best places to launch a career as it offers various well designed training programs throughout each level of the jobs and the opportunity to gain plenty of experience in a short period of time. I haven't worked in any of other Big 4 firms myself but from what I have heard and the information I got KPMG's culture and working environment is relatively more lay back and easy going. Overall the management is pretty supportive in terms of the work/life balance and serious about maintaining a competent working environment.

      Cons

      The biggest downside of working at KPMG is the long working hours. Even if the firm management is supportive for creating a work/life balance environment sometimes you just can't find the time to have a "real life" due to the intense working load. So never try to compare the hourly rate you get from working here to others!
