Pros

Diversity, emphasis on work/life balance, open and honest communication at all times and most importantly - THE AWESOME PEOPLE! There is also a great emphasis on work hard and play harder. There is an emphasis on the career development of women. The firm provides excellent training, inside and outside. Whatever you choose to do, it is a great place to start your career at and then maybe go into the industry, gains ome experience of a different sort and then come back here and keep rising upwards. They will take you back with open arms because they encourage diversity of thought and experience as well.

Cons

It is afterall an industry that requires long hours and sometimes during busy season you do put in 60 hour weeks regularly. However, this is not restricted to KPMG alone. It is something seen all Big 4 firms. In all Big 4 firms, such as this one, there are times of the year when companies are filing their financial statements and things tend to get really hectic and exhausting. However, a firm like KPMG also gives you 25 paid days off! They encourage you to take all your time off as and when needed. So while there is a downside, the salary, bonus, and other benefits compensate for it.

Pros

KPMG has a great name associated with it. It is great for the resume. If you're willing to work hard, your can really zoom up the ladder as well. KPMG is always in the top 100 best places to start your career. Also, if you're a good worker, they'll pay for a lot of training, professional exams, or advanced schooling. KPMG is a very environmentally friendly place to work, and they are making big pushes to show their environmental responsibility as well as responsibility to the community. In addition to 5 weeks of paid vacation and 10 holidays, KPMG will give an extra 4 hours/ month of paid time off for community service, which can be added up and taken all in one week, if you desire. It makes you feel good to work for an employer who cares. KPMG also offers many international opportunities.

Cons

Though five weeks of vacation are authorized at KPMG, it's rather hard to actually take advantage of all five weeks. It is also looked down on somewhat by local management. Also, if you're a good hard worker and good at what you do, it means you're more likely to get promoted and pay raises, but it also means that the managers put you on more projects and you tend to get overworked. I also work in a smaller department with economists and finance professionals who aren't very social; therefore, I don't have any real friends at work to speak of.

Pros

The managment team is very competent and willing to spend time with associates/senior associates in order to promote their professional development. The employees are very down-to-earth and have a lot of personality, which is important when the work can be less than exciting.

Cons

The hours and client locations can sometimes be long/far and unpredictable. Also, sometimes the client work is not very exciting. At times it can be hard to bond with your audit team, as you are so busy working there is not much time left for socializing during the day.
