Pros

The benefits package at KPMG was very good. On the audit side, it is possible to have a fairly flexible schedule; as long as the job was getting done, there was no micro-managing;a bonus to those of us working with kids. CPE was another beneift, one I didn't recognize until leaving and struggling to get 40 hours when at KPMG I'd get 100+ hours easy. Finally, getting the opportunity to visit numerous client in varying industries is a nice perk to learning more about the accounting world and how different firms do things

Cons

The downside was a result of my personality. I'm a heads down, get the work done person; not a reality for an audit manager who is expected to bring in business, attend trustee meetings, etc.

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.).
