Pros

Smart people, good benefits, competitive salary

Cons

With KPMG being on the Forbes list for best places to work, makes me question the entire list. People show up to play a political game, not to work. Results come 3rd to favoritism and politics. Have values and integrity? This isn’t the place for you. The unethical practices are scary. The length of stay is enough for a promotion. Knowledge is nothing.

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

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.
