Pros

KPMG is a challenging workplace that will help you grow to help you understand the profession more. You are often given opportunities to grow and try new things. Additionally, they are supportive of you getting your CPA, even providing Becker materials. The pay is fairly competitive and you have a chance to make great connections. Generally, you are working with great peers who are quick to help if you are struggling to grasp a task. A big 4 firm that has a lot of respect and will look spectacular on your resume.

Cons

Management clearly decides who is their favorite and pour endlessly into them. This is amplified when you are paired with management who may not show any favoritism towards you. It's also clear that some senior members of the team don't actually understand aspects of the audit as if you ask a question, they cannot provide any insight into a solution. Sometimes, the most help you can get when a client is giving you a hard time is "do the best you can", which shows a clear lack of backbone for management to actually support junior team members. Busy seasons can be mentally taxing, having to work 70- 80 hour work weeks.

Pros

Working on a diverse range of projects.

Cons

This is for the analytics practice within DAS. People were some of the worst I’ve ever worked with. They have zero empathy and no emotional intelligence. In addition, the leaders of the practice is arrogant and does not care a single bit about professional development and consistently talk behind people’s back. The work is non impactful, client is often not truly satisfied with the low quality AI slop deliverable, and extremely boring and repetitive. Pay is the lowest compare to other big 4 M&A analytics practice.
