Pros

KPMG is a great place to start a carrer. They have great trainings through out the year and surround their employees with knowledgable professionals at each level. Although the pay may be lower than industry they have a lot of opprotunity for growth both persnally and professionally. The strive to have a good work life balance which is crucial although may not always be possible. They do however allow flex scheduling and the ability to telecommute. Overall there I would recommend any professional coming out of college to explore an opprotunity at KPMG.

Cons

45-50+ hours during busy season but slows down during the winter

Pros

Generally, KPMG is a good option for launching a career. The people who work at KPMG are hardworkers and high achievers. It is nice to be surrounded by individuals at a similar stage in life with similar goals. KPMG provides good global mobility, however the mobility within a local area or state is limited by the availability of large businesses and clients. Having been with the firm for nearly two years I am still proud of the integrity with which KPMG conducts business and the high level of "professional care" exhibited by the employees.

Cons

The downside to working at KPMG is the up or out culture. Each year KPMG hires a large start class of fresh college graduates, need them or not. This has lead to lay-offs, which create an atmosphere of unease and fear.

Pros

It's definitely a great place to start your career. You will learn a lot of accounting and get to see a lot of management style.

Cons

They see you as a tool. They don't care if you burnout or get sick. No recognition by the management after completing a task or engagement. Unfair layoffs. I was laid off even though I was getting great reviews from senior associates. It's matter of being an ass kisser to stay on the safe side.
