Pros

I enjoy working at KPMG because the people for the most part are very competent. The hours you work while numerous are flexible. If I want to be here until two in the morning one night so I can leave at four the following day nobody questions it. It's truly a matter of getting the job finished and finished well rather then simply being here because other people are.

Cons

The number one downside of working at KPMG is that promotions are in no way shape or form based on merit and are in large part due to tenure. I am currently stuck working on a project that I am leading because my senior associate is incompetent but because she has been here longer is above me on the chain of command I technically report to her and she receives the positive recognition. The other major downside to working at KPMG is you should never and I mean never ever calculate your hourly rate because you'll want to shoot yourself.

Pros

Work life balance, diversity, and the ability of women to move up without a lot of politics.

Cons

Hours can be bad sometimes as it is a client service industry. In addition, the pay can be a lot better than it is.
