Pros

-KPMG provide training all year around, with up to 3 weeks training the 1st year -Senior management is easily accessible and comes to supervise the projects directly with the team and the clients -Teamwork is awesome during the 1st year among new auditors/consultants -KPMG is the leader in the French market and has contracts with high profile companies -It is easy to work accross different business and functions. I was recruited in the Financial Services Business Unit as and auditor but I had the opportunity to work with the Transaction Services division and I was also involved in consulting projects -You need to be proactive to get the best projects. -You may have the opportunity to supervise projects and interact with top exécutives at an early stage.

Cons

-The job may be really stressful and I was expected to finish work during the weekend without billing it in some occasions -A lot gossiping, hypocrrisy,backstabbing and ''dirty politics" from juniors to senior management. It was hard to trust anyone there -Hardword and meritocracy are not recognised. Instead, you are expected to interact well and please project managers in order to get good feedback and get promoted.

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.
