Work/Life is a concept that's different to everyone, and KPMG certainly proves that. - Tax Associate KPMG Employee Review

Pros

25 days of PTO. Nice people to work with at the staff level.

Cons

Although 25 days of PTO are available, the work/life balance is a joke for half the staff and the 25 days go unused. Half the staff is experienced and competent, hence they get worked to death while the other half gets to sit around studying for the CPA exam cause no one wants to use them. There's no encouragement to excel, because if you do, you just get a lot of work and at the end of the day, you're rated the same as everyone else and paid the same as everyone else cause management is too caught up in their ERP to figure out what's really going on in the cubes.

Pros

You get to work with an awesome, highly resilient group of local peers in the advisory practice. The KPMG brand still holds value, but the internal team dynamics have become incredibly fractured.

Cons

We have outsourced 80%+ of our Risk Advisory work, leaving onshore seniors with massive gaps in their experience. As a manager, I am stuck doing senior-level work because I typically have only one or zero local seniors or associates on my teams. The best leaders have already resigned because this model prevents actual management and mentoring. Also, it might take you 30+ years to become partner in Risk Advisory, if at all.
