Pros

KPMG had plenty of benefits to offer during my employment. Matching 401k contributions was great. The benefits were fair. Compensation was more than fair but you must be ready to put in whatever hours are required if you wish to advance (upwards of 70 hrs a week at times).

Cons

The time commitment to the company is hefty during the early stages of your career. Putting in these hours is a necessity if you wish to get promotion opportunities. As family gains importance in your life, considering other firms that are more family-friendly or family-oriented is likely.

Pros

Good benefits, and they delivered on promised variable comp in high-performing business units for those who met their target goals. They are definitely focusing on innovation over last couple of years, creating new solutions and providing new career path opportunities. They have a huge learning capability with high-quality training across an impressive array of industries, skills and methdologies. They are serious about continuing education for employees they make time and provide content. Some of it is pedantic, but a lot of it is really great. They are taking steps to overcome their stifling paternalistic culture and shift to a more diverse-friendly, performance based and collaborative environment.

Cons

There are still large pockets of the organization stuck in the traditional, hierarchical, stuffy model where the partner thinks he is a god and those who want to advance their careers act like they agree with him. There is still a disturbing lack of diversity in top leadership. And if you don't like continuing professional education, don't come here - you will have to do a ton of online training initially and then hit heavy annual credit hours each year plus a super-target every 3 years. Also, you are significantly constrained on your investment portfolio, more so the further up the chain you are. And you could be required to immediately dump stock, an investment firm or your mortgage provider etc. if they become an audit client of the firm.

Pros

Compensation is good, time-off is generous, opportunity for advancement. KPMG offers a lot of perks to its employees which helps to make it a fun place to work.

Cons

It's an accounting firm so it's not the most creative place to be but there are opportunities to work with people who have amazing backgrounds and you can learn so much just by being around them. There is a culture of competitiveness between difference sections of the company - negativity, back-stabbing. If you're a positive person and don't engage with the negativity, you'll be fine.
