Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Typical Big 4
Pros: Sometimes the job can be very flexible. During summer, I work from home once every week or two. Also, Jumpstart Fridays are great (leave the office at 3pm). 

I've met some great people at KPMG trainings from different practices.

A lot of happy hours and team lunches/ dinners.
Cons: When newly hired, you are thrown into the ocean and forced to learn how to swim. I had no real experience with IT Advisory and learning was frustrating because of lack of guidance.

The job is VERY tedious and lacks the growth to learn any hard skills. I feel like I am loosing opportunity to grow my career by staying at KPMG. Each day here feels like a day I wasted.

KPMG expects you to be a slave to the firm. For about 16 weeks a year I find myself working 55-70 hour weeks with no extra compensation even though I am only scheduled to work 40 hrs a week.

KPMG expects your job to be your life. They expect you to be dedicated to the job like it is a startup.
