KPMG
Pros: Continuous learning- numerous training opportunities. Ability to develop multiple skills- technical knowledge, communication and public speaking, teaching, managing, etc. Supportive environment-although it is very difficult to maintain a work-life balance, management is supportive of individuals trying to achieve work-life balance. Extensive technical resources.
Cons: The hours and stress are very high. Within the audit practice, promotion is based more on seniority (# of years of experience) vs. performance, although some of this is a result of the judgment that is required to be developed in order to be an effective auditor. It's difficult to develop sound judgment without years of experience.
