It's not the perfect job, but it's a pretty darn good place to work. - Tax Senior Associate KPMG Employee Review

Pros

It varies wildly from group to group and office to office, but the firm leadership generally seems to have gotten on board with the "employer of choice" concept. We have no mandatory overtime, generous benefits, alternative work schedules, a firm commitment to professional and personal development, and opportunities for rotations and overseas assignments. Plus having the near death experience with the DOJ has cleaned out a lot of the bogus stuff that we used to try and sell to clients. I worked at a big 4 firm 10 years ago and the difference is like night and day. It's certainly not a cushy job, and not an 8-5 job, but for those who want to work hard and work toward becoming a valued advisor in the business world, KPMG would be a good place to start your career.

Cons

You can get too specialized and pigeonhole yourself if you're not careful. And there are still some people who manage to rise through the ranks while paying lip service to the idea that employees are valuable assets that need to be nurtured.

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.
