      Not for me - Tax Associate KPMG Employee Review

      Pros

      I think that I'm better off having accepted a position in the Big 4 because it is quite the resume builder to be able to have its prestige listed.

      Cons

      I did not fit in the culture. At times it felt like middle school or high school with cliques and gossip. I didn't even realize how unhappy I was there until I left. I had gained an extra 20 lbs which just shed seemingly magically within 3 weeks of leaving. I never believed that stress caused weight gain until I experienced it first hand.

      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.
