Pros

The pay is great. The benefits package is competitive. You receive an abundance of PTO that the company encourages you to use.

Cons

This company expects you to overwork. You have numerous REQUIRED deliverables; in addition to your client work. Quarterly required trainings and you are shamed into/ bullied into partaking in additional projects and this is all outside of your daily work schedule which means it cuts into your personal/family time. There is no work/life balance unless you TAKE it and are strict about controlling your personal schedule. You get treated like a number. A machine. You're replaceable, so don't believe in the "KPMG is a family" talk. KPMG has had major layoffs over the past couple of years, and the departures didn't impact anyone. Less than 24 hours later, you will be erased and replaced.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
