Pros

There is not one good reason to work for KPMG, unless you want to commit career suicide. You can find better.

Cons

1. Upper management - Too many levels, unlikely to voice any concerns on how projects are being run. 2. Senior management does not know what senior managers are doing in regards to running the business like a cheap MultiLevel Marketing scheme. 3. For an Audit firm they are not honest as they practice double booking clients, or at least some senior managers. 4. No work life balance - In fact was hired on for 40 hour weeks and then told that we needed to do 50 hour weeks to catch up on work (even though the client was charged for the extra time). This in normal project would be called going over budget or deadlines, this would not be a best practice exercise for companies who want to grow. 5. Not personable - very cold and corporate 6. Sarbanes Oxley is the only thing keeping this company floating.

Pros

The best reasons to work at KPMG have to be the vacation time and the opportunity to advance both within the company and elsewhere. The Company tries to do little things to make the employees feel valued (gifts, extra days off, parties, etc), but it often doesn't make a significant impact. Management seems to care and most of the people are genuinely good people with the best intentions.

Cons

The work itself is awful. The hours during the spring are ridiculous and there is an expectation that working all the time is expected and is something to admire. Work should support one's life, work should not be one's life. The vacation time is nice (25 days), but it is necessary to endure the constant irritation that is the average day at work.

Pros

They are true to their word when they promote work/life balance. I have been very luck b/c when I was traveling for a long period of time, my engagement manager made it a point to give me some time at home (and not at the local office either).

Cons

Traveling is a part of the job, and sometimes it may be tiring. If you get lucky, you might even get a chance to travel internationally.
