Pros

Strong brand, exposure to international clients and complex projects, good learning opportunities, and an attractive benefits package.

Cons

Poor onboarding and unrealistic expectations for new hires. Experienced professionals are expected to be productive from day one without sufficient context, documentation or support. Collaboration and knowledge sharing were limited, and feedback focused heavily on autonomy rather than enabling success. The base salary is also below market considering the level of responsibility and expectations. The overall package is only financially competitive because of the bonuses and benefits. A firm of KPMG's size and reputation should offer a more competitive base salary.

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.
