Pros

1. The brand name of KPMG is very attractive to other companies. 2. Exposure to target and client management can be substantial 3. Great networking opportunities with others

Cons

1. Work/life balance can be a b**** some time 2. Personal time is often sacrificed 3. You have to force yourself to build "relationship" with managers, directors and partners so you could get onto projects 4. Transparency could be improved 5. It takes two or more to communicate messages - whether we have layoffs or not, let us know...

Pros

KPMG treats their people better than some of the other big 4 companies out there. Much of this also depends on where you work (geographical area), and what area you work in (advisory / audit / tax). Generally the smaller the practice the better - you connect more with people in your groups on a personal level, you receive better feedback, better learning opportunities, more opportunities for career advancement within the practice.

Cons

* First impressions sticks, your first 60-90 days last forever - once you made a bad impression, it's hard to erase. On the other hand, good first impressions tend to last longer (than it should). * Pay is also an area that KPMG can definitely improve on - it is probably one of the lowest among the big 4 group itself (and big 4 salary standard is not exactly high to begin with!) * Some groups are too top-heavy (3 to 1 Senior Management to Staff Ratio!!!) * As you move up to the top, you're expected to 'sell' more and more of KPMG's services.
