Great Experience, Hope to Return
Pros: Terrific Benefits (Healthcare), Free Training, Flexibility (which may need to be earned), vacation, fantastic HR.

I loved working there but honestly I was ill prepared by my former jobs. My colleagues were the best and brightest and managers were inspirational. Anyone who puts a few years in at KPMG will set them self up for a positive career path. Take advantage of the free training and tools they offer. Take advantage of the wonderful healthcare, maternity, PTO and contacts you will make.
Cons: Sometimes, the workload could reach unbearable levels. If you want to be promoted prepare to put the hours in and hunker down. The rewards are there in the form of annual bonuses, retention bonuses, and raises but it could feel a little thankless working until midnight on a weekend. The environment is not for everyone. There can be unexpected travel, formal business meetings (which can cause anxiety for shy people) and high pressure goals set by managers. Honestly it was the greatest employer I ever had, I just couldn't seem to keep up with the demands and found myself a little better suited with a mid sized firm.
