Pros

MOst of the people are great at KPMG (obviously a few do get through who you wouldn't socialise with if they didn't work with you). So many of the senior staff are approachable which always helps.

Cons

The hours are ALWAYS long especially once you get into years 3 and beyond. It's always "busy season". The appraisal process is flawed and everyone is always moaning about it; unfortunately it's more of a popularity contest than how good the person is, which inevitably causes some of the best people to leave the firm. The salary and bonus is rubbish when compared to bankers/lawyers of a similar intellect!

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
