Pros

The people at KPMG truly are some of the best I've worked with and are great on a personal and professional level. The firm's pay is competitive and in line with the other Big 4 Firms, if not differentiated; but the Firm has a fiscal year after the other Big 4, allowing them to react to unexpected Salary changes before raises and promotions are announced. This ensures KPMG is rarely, if ever, behind the other firms in terms of compensation. Massive global firm, with opportunities in many different geographical locations and business sectors.

Cons

As with most other public accounting firms, hours are often very demanding. Hours outpace pay until reaching management level, and there are often many opportunities that offer better pay for less hours within the industry (though this again tends to turn around when reaching the management group)

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

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.
