Pros

An amazing benefits package; one of the best I've ever seen. Ample PTO, excellent insurance options, 401(k) and a pension plan. Great use of PeopleSoft to communicate benefits information. Very much invested in "going green".

Cons

Little room for advancement if you're on the support side; cramped quarters. This is yet another professional services company that makes it clear that if you're not on the client-facing side, you're easily replaced and not of much value. Projects involving more than one group that aren't considered crucial by senior management can take months to complete. Moving quickly is impossible. Because this is a global company, the intranet is a behemoth and nearly impossible to browse efficiently. The culture KPMG attempts to create does not consistently drill down to all levels, which is very disappointing.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
