Pros

Strong brand, exposure to international clients and complex projects, good learning opportunities, and an attractive benefits package.

Cons

Poor onboarding and unrealistic expectations for new hires. Experienced professionals are expected to be productive from day one without sufficient context, documentation or support. Collaboration and knowledge sharing were limited, and feedback focused heavily on autonomy rather than enabling success. The base salary is also below market considering the level of responsibility and expectations. The overall package is only financially competitive because of the bonuses and benefits. A firm of KPMG's size and reputation should offer a more competitive base salary.

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.
