Pros

The people at KPMG truly are some of the best I've worked with and are great on a personal and professional level. The firm's pay is competitive and in line with the other Big 4 Firms, if not differentiated; but the Firm has a fiscal year after the other Big 4, allowing them to react to unexpected Salary changes before raises and promotions are announced. This ensures KPMG is rarely, if ever, behind the other firms in terms of compensation. Massive global firm, with opportunities in many different geographical locations and business sectors.

Cons

As with most other public accounting firms, hours are often very demanding. Hours outpace pay until reaching management level, and there are often many opportunities that offer better pay for less hours within the industry (though this again tends to turn around when reaching the management group)

Pros

Solid salary, decent flexibility, very good work life balance in the summer, unlimited PTO as long as you hit your utilization targets. Fantastic culture in my office. Encouraged to take time away.

Cons

Busy season expectations- but could be like that anywhere! Workaholic culture, etc. most training is outsourced to sucky online programs instead of mentorship or setting aside time for experienced team members to coach.
