Toxic Environment
Pros: It is a requirement to have Public Accounting experience for most job positions within the industry.
Cons: The worst part of working for KPMG are the people you work with, often because they are burnt out and bitter. At first they will tell you it is a one off, but you begin to see it is truely every employee. Average turn around is 18 months.

The long hours are expected in Public Accounting, however gone are the days where KPMG would supplement those hours with industry leading benefits. In the past year the company has reduced vacation time, and reduced total compensation by 10% and ended 401k contributions. Their base pay is also a standard deviation below industry standard.
