      KPMG - the best place to start the rest of your life!

      Tax associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. KPMG offers not only a great salary, but offers some amazing benefits to everyone. I receive seventy-five cents for every dollar up to 5% of my salary that I put into my 401(k) plan, but not only do I get that for retirement, I also receive a pensions plan with a contribution of $5,000 at the start, and then yearly credits that increase with seniority and position. 2. The people that I work with are from top tier universities here in Texas. They are all understanding and give you the tools needed to succeed in your job. They take the time to teach and ensure that you will succeed on the projects you work on. 3. KPMG is very active in the community and is always trying ways to get everyone involved to making Houston a better city to live in.

      Cons

      Honestly, there are no downsides to working at KPMG. There are only downsides to working in the accounting industry as a whole. These may include long hours during certain times of the year - no 8 to 5 here. Don't get me wrong, there are days that we can leave on time, but as we are very project driven, it just depends on what you are working on. One thing I can say about KPMG is that there is no overtime. Overtime is not given at any big four accounting firm, but some of the smaller firms still offer it at my level and I am sure it comes in real handy when trying to pay the bills.

      A great place for entrepreneurs and self-starters

      Advisory senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      KPMG Advisory has an extremely entrepreneurial culture and, unlike other Big Four firms where my friends work, they are not obsessed with hierarchy. Staff have good opportunities to get to know and work closely with partners and senior managers. There is enough going on at KPMG that motivated and talented people can find a good fit somewhere in the company, both in terms of practice areas and geography. Practice groups have sufficient autonomy to do what they need to do develop their business. The people who do best are those who are self-starters.

      Cons

      Extremely conservative risk management practices make pursuing some opportunities more dificult than they should be. Firm has excessive fear (from lack of understanding) of systems integration. What passes for knowledge sharing (K-World) truly sucks, suffering from an impulse for central control rather than enablement. Partnership is becoming an increasingly unattractive proposition.

      Great Quality of Life Balance

      Sevior developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Salary, 5 weeks a year paid time off plus holidays and past two years at least, 2 bonus days during holiday break, early release Fridays (called weekend jump start) - 2 hours PTO gifts awarded during summer (I know, when do we get any work done, right?! Nevermind, we earn it!); STRONG Mentorship program (and mentors are awarded national and local office recognition); Excellent diversity track record. Fellow employees are very nice. Flex-time and work from home. Strong benefits package.

      Cons

      A little hard to find out what is going on in local offices and their org structures, since many practices do not publish this information. This impacts career mobility somewhat, at least it makes one have to be very gregarious and creative in order to find out about opportunities. On the flip side, once you get someone's attention they are always open to discuss opportunities.
