Surprisingly Good Experience
Pros: - Corporate culture so far has been surprisingly good. YMMV from team to team, but I have had great experiences thus far. Tone from the top is great.
- Lateral mobility has been met positively. There are a few conditional factors from case to case (such as clearances or busy season) but moving from one engagement to another if requested is good.
- KPMG will pay for your CPA license and all of your study material'
- A lot of training. Some may view this as a negative, but the amount of training mandated by the firm gets you the required amount of CPE with ease.
- Fairly robust benefits (outside of retirement). The firm is continually tailoring the benefits to be more enticing.
- I had a personal experience that HR went above and beyond to help me with. This may be coloring my review, but it is worth mentioning since it made such an impression on me.
Cons: - Very long hours during busy season.
- Non-competitive retirement 401(k)
