Pros

I found the Boston office to be friendly and helpful in developing your job skills and teaching you what you need to do to advance in your career. The senior management seemed hungry to grow the business and engaged in making sure that things got done right . Despite the push to grow the business, they seemed focused on maintaining a work life balance. Furthermore, they took the time to recognize your accomplishments and to make sure others in the firm were aware of your value. The only reason I left was because I received one of those offers you just can't refuse. I would not have received the offer if it was not for the skills I gained while at KPMG Boston.

Cons

I actually have nothing to complain about about in regards to my experience at KPMG.

Pros

Good place to start a career. Firm has excellent benefits. Most of senior management are easily accessible and act promptly on individual concerns.

Cons

Long hours will be required on regular basis which tends to affect work/life balance. There is a heavy management oversight if employees do not charge 50 hours per week of billable time. There were recent lay-offs which were not formally communicated which tends to create a lot of speculation among the employees. All work papers are still in hard copy format, however, the firm is slowly moving towards electronic format. This transition will be completed next year.
