      Not for me

      Pros

      I think that I'm better off having accepted a position in the Big 4 because it is quite the resume builder to be able to have its prestige listed.

      Cons

      I did not fit in the culture. At times it felt like middle school or high school with cliques and gossip. I didn't even realize how unhappy I was there until I left. I had gained an extra 20 lbs which just shed seemingly magically within 3 weeks of leaving. I never believed that stress caused weight gain until I experienced it first hand.

      Pros

      KPMG had plenty of benefits to offer during my employment. Matching 401k contributions was great. The benefits were fair. Compensation was more than fair but you must be ready to put in whatever hours are required if you wish to advance (upwards of 70 hrs a week at times).

      Cons

      The time commitment to the company is hefty during the early stages of your career. Putting in these hours is a necessity if you wish to get promotion opportunities. As family gains importance in your life, considering other firms that are more family-friendly or family-oriented is likely.

      Better than I thought it would be... We were acquired by KPMG, and I wasn't sure I'd like, but I'm staying.

      Pros

      Good benefits, and they delivered on promised variable comp in high-performing business units for those who met their target goals. They are definitely focusing on innovation over last couple of years, creating new solutions and providing new career path opportunities. They have a huge learning capability with high-quality training across an impressive array of industries, skills and methdologies. They are serious about continuing education for employees they make time and provide content. Some of it is pedantic, but a lot of it is really great. They are taking steps to overcome their stifling paternalistic culture and shift to a more diverse-friendly, performance based and collaborative environment.

      Cons

      There are still large pockets of the organization stuck in the traditional, hierarchical, stuffy model where the partner thinks he is a god and those who want to advance their careers act like they agree with him. There is still a disturbing lack of diversity in top leadership. And if you don't like continuing professional education, don't come here - you will have to do a ton of online training initially and then hit heavy annual credit hours each year plus a super-target every 3 years. Also, you are significantly constrained on your investment portfolio, more so the further up the chain you are. And you could be required to immediately dump stock, an investment firm or your mortgage provider etc. if they become an audit client of the firm.
