Pros

Great pay, benefits, and upward mobility. The company is definitely large and has a lot of opportunity for lateral and upward mobility. Very professional and takes a lot of interest in developing new young professionals into business people. A great place to begin a career and learn the ins and outs of the professional world.

Cons

Large time commitment (obviously), just part of the business. Also, audit work involves a lot of local travel. Very often did I not know what client i would be on until the Sunday before, but that really depends on how well the individual office is managed or who your manager is. Overall, it's a public accounting firm. Worklife is more or less the same as others.

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.).
