Great potential, but don't go into public accounting unless you want to work hard and be underpaid for it. - Audit Senior Associate KPMG Employee Review

Pros

Experience at KPMG provides a great basis for a person to start off in business. There are many opportunities for career advancement and as long as one continues to do well and work hard the sky is the limit as far as career prospects.

Cons

There are lots of hours involved in auditing and tax, and a lot of how far a person can advance in the firm is based on the amount of stuff that the person can put up with while at the firm.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
