Pros
Some nice colleges in a similar age group
Cons
Salary progression is abysmal, with limited exposure to partners. Many insecure managers with complex issues micromanage every aspect of your life. The grueling work hours take a severe toll on your mental health, despite constant reminders to prioritize your well-being. The staff are depressed and overworked, and talent often flees during the ACA program, seeking better opportunities. The ACA program at KPMG in particular itself is a tedious learning experience, focusing on memorizing concepts and repeating questions without encouraging imagination or problem-solving skills. It’s a test of memory alone, devoid of intellectual stimulation. The qualification is for those who refuse to use their minds, and many individuals who take it have lost IQ points and experienced significant brain damage. In this organization, your worth is determined by your status as a partner. You’re viewed as a mere cog in the machine, a number without a face, an indispensable instrument. You’re not special here; an average 12-year-old could comfortably perform this mundane job. If you’re still here, I empathize with your situation. If you’ve managed to escape, I envy your freedom. If you genuinely want to work here, I pity you. In essence, if you despise yourself and your future, this is the place for you. It’s where intelligent souls come to meet their demise. :l
