Work/Life is a concept that's different to everyone, and KPMG certainly proves that. - Tax Associate KPMG Employee Review

Pros

25 days of PTO. Nice people to work with at the staff level.

Cons

Although 25 days of PTO are available, the work/life balance is a joke for half the staff and the 25 days go unused. Half the staff is experienced and competent, hence they get worked to death while the other half gets to sit around studying for the CPA exam cause no one wants to use them. There's no encouragement to excel, because if you do, you just get a lot of work and at the end of the day, you're rated the same as everyone else and paid the same as everyone else cause management is too caught up in their ERP to figure out what's really going on in the cubes.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
