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.

KPMG a place where success is not rewarded.

Pros

I enjoy working at KPMG because the people for the most part are very competent. The hours you work while numerous are flexible. If I want to be here until two in the morning one night so I can leave at four the following day nobody questions it. It's truly a matter of getting the job finished and finished well rather then simply being here because other people are.

Cons

The number one downside of working at KPMG is that promotions are in no way shape or form based on merit and are in large part due to tenure. I am currently stuck working on a project that I am leading because my senior associate is incompetent but because she has been here longer is above me on the chain of command I technically report to her and she receives the positive recognition. The other major downside to working at KPMG is you should never and I mean never ever calculate your hourly rate because you'll want to shoot yourself.

Pros

Work life balance, diversity, and the ability of women to move up without a lot of politics.

Cons

Hours can be bad sometimes as it is a client service industry. In addition, the pay can be a lot better than it is.
