      Great place to work - but be prepared to work hard !

      Principal consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The overall culture is one of excellence - and it shows in everything that people do. You are always aware that others will be reiewing (and perhaps referencing) your work - so it breeds a desire to excel. The cuture is also an open one - that encourages people to share knowledge and where hiding knowledge is regarded as a bad thing. It's a fun, dynamic place to work that offers a whole host of challenging projects

      Cons

      It's a competative environment - so it's no place for shrinking violets ! The work life balance was non-existant, something that I believe has been addressed recently. Of course it has its share of politics - but then every place does.

      Good firm, great people. Mediocre communication from management.

      Advisory manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As a Big 4 accounting firm, KPMG has many global Fortune 500 in its client base. It is know for its strength/expertise in commercial banking, but has large clients in all industries (e.g. General Electric, Pfizer.) The firm affords the opportunity to travel, if so desired, and I really enjoy the people I work with. Everyone seems genuine, intelligent and hard-working. The firm seems genuinely behind the work/life initiative it has been promoting for a number of years and generally seems to accommodate an employee's desire to transfer to another office, work an abbreviated schedule (to spend time with family) or go on an international rotation.

      Cons

      As a firm heavily involved in the financial services industry, we are feeling the effects of the downturn in the economy, specifically as it relates to the banking and finance industries. There have been 2 rounds of layoffs this year (March & May), neither of which were communicated to the staff. Additionally, although the firm recently announced earning are not down substantially, the general gossip is that raises and bonus will be off substantially from last year. We are all aware of what’s going on with the economy, but would appreciate an update to the firm’s results (vis-à-vis compensation), so changes don’t appear as an 11th hour event.

      KPMG - Great company; wish I enjoyed the work

      Audit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
