Pros

KPMG has a great name associated with it. It is great for the resume. If you're willing to work hard, your can really zoom up the ladder as well. KPMG is always in the top 100 best places to start your career. Also, if you're a good worker, they'll pay for a lot of training, professional exams, or advanced schooling. KPMG is a very environmentally friendly place to work, and they are making big pushes to show their environmental responsibility as well as responsibility to the community. In addition to 5 weeks of paid vacation and 10 holidays, KPMG will give an extra 4 hours/ month of paid time off for community service, which can be added up and taken all in one week, if you desire. It makes you feel good to work for an employer who cares. KPMG also offers many international opportunities.

Cons

Though five weeks of vacation are authorized at KPMG, it's rather hard to actually take advantage of all five weeks. It is also looked down on somewhat by local management. Also, if you're a good hard worker and good at what you do, it means you're more likely to get promoted and pay raises, but it also means that the managers put you on more projects and you tend to get overworked. I also work in a smaller department with economists and finance professionals who aren't very social; therefore, I don't have any real friends at work to speak of.

Pros

KPMG is a worldwide brand and offers opportunities to pursue many different career paths. The umbrella of services is categorized as follows: Audit/Advisory/Tax. Personally I am in International Tax. Specifically, KPMG offers many opportunities to grow by providing opportunities for international rotations, ease of lateral movements to the other service areas such as advisory and audit. KPMG leadership always keeps us abreast of industry news that affect our services, keeps an open line of communication to senior level executives and encourages us to think outside the box and provides many avenues and trainings for professional development.

Cons

Employees at KPMG are highly knowledgeable and very hard working. Job demands as it relates to tax are very high. The regular work hours are usually 8:30-6 or 7 PM even during off-peak seasons. Everyone works hard and has extremely high expectations but managers are fair and reasonable with work load. The point being if you are looking for an 8-5, this may not be the right place for you. However, if you are committed and dedicated to work as hard as required you can guarantee you will be rewarded fairly in regards to compensation and bonuses. During busy season Jan-April 15th, I have worked 830-12 AM for 4 weeks in a row. Saturdays are mandatory during busy season and usually require 6-8 hours of work.

Pros

KPMG has International Rotation Programs people can join and have the opportunity to live and work abroad for a 6 months up to 3 years period. Great people to work with. Depending on in which department someone works, KPMG has a great international network with hundreds of professionals around the globe. Good work-life balance: It is possible to work from home. Opportunities to travel: Do you want to travel? Just say it!.

Cons

sometimes too many hours a week, however, they are reasonable and always due to project needs.
