      Pros

      KPMG offers a competitive compensation and benefits package including five weeks of personal time off. From the start of your career with KPMG, you are given many opportunities to showcase your knowledge, skills, and desire to succeed. For those who are motivated to excel and impress, KPMG is a great place to work in this regard.

      Cons

      Some of the downsides of working at KPMG include the fact that there is a really good chance that you will be busy the entire calendar year (not just during “busy season”). Unfortunately, you probably only hear that you will just be busy during a few months of the year, but this certainly does not appear to be true whatsoever. In addition, most of the senior associates/managers/seniors managers that you work under will only talk to you about the one or two things that you did wrong or inefficiently and will never mention all of the things that you did right. This can be extremely discouraging.

      Decent pay & benefits - but the jobs not for everyone...

      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!!
