Pros

Great on Resume! (But then again, who doesn't say that). Lots of Big Office perks. (save on cell phone plans, gym membership discounts, etc). Lots of training (if your in to that sort of thing). They pay for a lot of things (CPA Classes, school, etc). The associates and seniors were pretty laid back and made working fun (as much as it can be I suppose) The pay for an intern was pretty good. Plus you get overtime as an intern. (not as a full-time). Otherwise they'd be paying full-timers for 60+ hours a week all the time.

Cons

Hours are ridiculously long! I mean, I was only an intern so they alway let me go early, but the rest of the full-time folks always stayed until atleast 9ish. Other than that, you have to come in with the mind set that it's going to be long hours, some stressed out folks (during busy season, which for some folks is all the time), and crazy deadlines. Managers in particular have it bad, becuase they're right in the middle of the corporate structure. So they're the most stressed out. Stay away from them during stressfull periods.

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
