Pros

Career opportunity growth and people are generally down to earth and personable. The firm is doing its best to provide a comfortable environment for people to work in, though the nature of the job is quite boring and the hours are known to be very long. Usually people mixed up the two - the nature of the job and KPMG as a firm that is. But really if you choose to be in the industry there's not really a better place to work for.

Cons

The nature of the job is rather boring and be prepare for very very long working hours during the year-end audit.

Pros

Diversity, emphasis on work/life balance, open and honest communication at all times and most importantly - THE AWESOME PEOPLE! There is also a great emphasis on work hard and play harder. There is an emphasis on the career development of women. The firm provides excellent training, inside and outside. Whatever you choose to do, it is a great place to start your career at and then maybe go into the industry, gains ome experience of a different sort and then come back here and keep rising upwards. They will take you back with open arms because they encourage diversity of thought and experience as well.

Cons

It is afterall an industry that requires long hours and sometimes during busy season you do put in 60 hour weeks regularly. However, this is not restricted to KPMG alone. It is something seen all Big 4 firms. In all Big 4 firms, such as this one, there are times of the year when companies are filing their financial statements and things tend to get really hectic and exhausting. However, a firm like KPMG also gives you 25 paid days off! They encourage you to take all your time off as and when needed. So while there is a downside, the salary, bonus, and other benefits compensate for it.
