      Work/Life is a concept that's different to everyone, and KPMG certainly proves that.

      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.

      Great opportunities

      Pros

      Excellent culture, strong leadership. KPMG is what you make of it -- build strong relationships with your peers and management, gain respect, carve yourself a "niche" (a challenge in accounting or tax work) and you're set for life. You can stand up with the support of the Firm's values and code of conduct, and know that even if your immediate boss disagrees with you, someone more senior will give their support.

      Cons

      First few years are probably the hardest work of your life, but if you cut yourself a niche and build good relationships you can start directing others to do the hard work!

      KPMG - A package that one should not touch with a 10 foot pole

      Pros

      Looks good on CV. Overall as one of the Big 4 it helps open doors in industries. You can make good networks.

      Cons

      Choosing to work in KPMG is a downside. Everything is a big fat lie. The whole work like policy is a joke. Internal politicking is rife. Managers are ignorant buffoons who do not even know their heads from their behinds. Partners are worse. you have to fight for projects. Managers form their own dog groups and its hard to get out of a group and get projects. Internal transfers, assignments and rotations are hard to get by. All the stuff that is said in the HR presentations is just gimmick. The salary package is the worst. The lowest paid of all the big 4 and they try to compensate by showing the great added benefits. Hog wash
