Pros

KPMG offers strong career growth potential, especially if looking to move into another industry. This is definitely a great place to build your resume, since the job offers such a high learning curve and requires that you don't stop learning.

Cons

Public Accountants work a ton of HOURS and do not get paid OVERTIME. This is often times depressing considering the amount of work on hand. Additionally, KPMG has yet to transition to a 100% electronic audit. This is at times inconvenient and causes the company to use a lot of unncessary paper.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
