Selling Your Soul
Pros: The best reasons for working at KPMG are:
1) Opportunity to work in a Big Four environment
2) Great raises and fair bonus structure
3) Flexibility in schedule (e.g., working from home)
Cons: The downsides of working at KPMG are:
1) Boring work (unless you love accounting)
2) Awful work/life balance for no reason (long hours simply because Partners are at a client site -- not due to to heavy workloads)
3) The fact that everyone is promoted each year, regadless of performance
4) Inefficient process (hard copy workpapers, and a highly inefficient end to end audit process)
5) Negative working environment
