Pros

KPMG is a great place to develope your skills and build your career. They have a lot of training vehicles available and promote heavily on globalization. Both short-term and long-term international rotation programs are available to the right candidate. My coworkers are great and we are all very respectful of one another, KPMG encourages teamwork and does a great job in creating this kind of environment.

Cons

Compensation does not reflect very well when compared to the number of hours worked per dollar. Also, the international rotation programs might be very difficult to get into if your service line of business is limited nationally.

Pros

Brand name of firm - good leaping point into other careers. Most of the people who work here are solely here for the short-term (5 - 6 years). They want to make manager and then leave. On the whole the people you work with are very smart - in accounting; not necessarily in other life matters. There's also a good mix when it comes to diversity; especially in big offices. Managers/Partners are fairly accessible and they are usually nice people to talk to; though some of them can make your life miserable. There's also a lot of emphasis on accountability; which can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation. The trainings and seminars are awesome and make you feel like the firm really wants you to learn.

Cons

Long hours - and you have to deal with incredibaly inconsiderate seniors/managers/partners. Also, if you're international in outlook and have travelled outside of the U.S.; or if your dream isn't a nice four bedroom house in a quite suburb with a minivan and a sedan parked in the driveway; you should probably stay away from Fed Tax. The people who work here; while they are nice - are some of the most closeted folks I have ever met in my time in America. Most of them have never travelled and look at anything you'd like to share about your culture/food/life with suspicion and this belief that "if it isn't American, it's no good". It does take a lot of getting used to; and if you aren't into baseball/football 24x7; look elsewhere!!
