Pros

The best reasons to work at KPMG is that you get work with a lot of different companies and learn their business model. You also get to work small teams with people around your age and it could be fun. You will learn a lot about auditing and GAAP and understand financial statements.

Cons

There are a lot of hours that you have to put in during an engagement. Depending on who you work with, some seniors and managers may make you work ridiculously late because they did not budget the engagement very well.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
