Pros

Culture and people. KPMG is just like what you expect from a Big 4. Training and experience, to work for KPMG is to take the first step into the financial world.

Cons

The greatest concern for most graduates is the starting salary. Sadly, this is an area KPMG is not as competitive in relative to each compititors. They advertise on their website that their remuneration is competitive to the rest of the market, but truth be told it is more on the lower end of the scale. But they do try to compensate with other benefits. But it is difficult to evaluate the value of these other additional benefits like sick leave and such.

Pros

Somewhat collaborative environment Wellhub Nothing else comes to mind

Cons

Laid off with no rhyme or reason- not performance based and I was actively staffed on projects. Coincidentally, it happened 2 weeks before my promised maternity leave. They were strategic enough to bring me on and let me go before I could receive a raise, bonus or 401K match. I’ll also add that for being a big 4, KPMG is extremely unorganized internally. You have to bookmark a million links for common sites and go tapping on shoulders for documentation to reference for clients
