Business Outlook

Pros

KPMG has competitive benefits, salary rates, and work/life balance. Additionally, I felt like I was treated fairly by managers during the year-end review process and always felt as if I was putting out high-quality, sufficiently reviewed work.

Cons

The workload can be demanding at times, also as you progress through your career (specifically as an experienced associate or senior associate) you will end up managing new college hires which can present problems in some scenarios.

Pros

KPMG offers great experience and on-the-job training opportunities. The resources that this firm has on hand are tremendous.

Terrible work life balance. The firm treats its employees like disposable parts. No remorse, no emotion, just endless amounts of work.
