Pros

It is a global company with great clients that looks great on a resume. The recruiters are very personal and work hard to ensure that you don't just become a number. I have recommened several people to work for the firm and they love it too. The culture is very laid back compared to other Big Four firms. They treat interns really well, great food provided, travel experiences.

Cons

The time required to work and travel.

Pros

Flexibilty, paid time off, the amount of different clients and environments that one is exposed to. Very competitive pay. Travel can be rewarding. There are only 5 levels at KPMG, associate, Senior Associate, Manager, Senior Manager/Director and Partner. Promotion can be rather quick and with only 5 levels, you can do the math. There is also a good 401k where they match 75% of 5% of your salary. There is also a pension. Vesting for the 401k is 5 years and the Pension is three years. Health benefits are good and there are five weeks, yes 5 weeks of paid time off. There is also 2 weeks of paternity leave. Depending on your group there can be great flexibilty in your work schedule.

Cons

Travel. It can be at the last minute, and makes family life hard sometimes. As you get higher up in the organization there are strict rules on what kind of investments you can have and as new clients are acquired you can be expected to sell off investments even if it means taking a loss. Also, a lot of the time I feel like I don't have home at work, I'm constantly moving workspaces and working straight from my laptop. Sometimes it would be nice to have a office or cube to myself. Hours can be very very long sometimes.

Pros

KPMG offers an environment that allows an individual to grow and learn at an accelerated pace. In addition, the individuals that make up KPMG are driven and hardworking; while still able to make the workplace fun and exciting. KPMG is a great place to start a career in business even if your long term goals do not involve public accounting. The amount of information and technical experience you learn is unmatched. There is always someone willing to help you with a problem or teach you a new skill. I am proud to be a KPMG employee. KPMG is a great place to work!

Cons

Working in public accounting requires longer work days during certian parts of the year, and anyone interested in working for any of the Big 4 firms should be aware of that. While at times the days can be long it is important to remember that they only occur during certain parts of the year, and the learning opportunities during that time are priceless.
