Pros

Key points: Wide exposure to different sectors, work life balance, friendly environment, good prospect for future career. As a team member of KPMG advisory, I gain good exposure to the flow of M&A procedures including valuation, pitching and deal processing. And the different teams can work on the same project which means learning from other functions. And employees usually have good future career prospects.

Cons

Keypoints: very busy when deadline approaches, average salary, customer requirement hard to meet Work can be quite intense when meeting deadline and when trying to meet detailed customer demands. The salary is an open secret for big 4, which is average at starting but will be stably increasing following the career progression within the firm. Customers are usually hard to please.

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.

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.
