Pros

*Advertised* decent salary for advisory new hires in offer letters

Cons

Absolutely no regard for new hire livelihoods — after offer letter signed Fall 2022, 20 DAYS before advisory start dates in January 2024 (already 1 push back), people were informed that start dates were pushed AGAIN to July/September 2024. This is the 2-3 pushback for most. There was absolutely NO communication that this would happen — got a sudden call on Jan 5 after orientation was scheduled, flights booked for training, I-9 processed, etc. Everyone I know affected already had financial commitments made (naturally given that we are 3 weeks out..) such as apartment leases signed, roommates found, old jobs quit, flight tickets bought…just for KPMG to leave its new hires out to dry. This is completely disgusting and a real reflection of what leadership thinks of its people. Avoid this company for your own sake!

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
