Pros

Just like others, they offer salaries.

Cons

There are so many fallacies with this firm. It’s family business not a multinational firm. There are no HR policies rather discriminating HR policies. Not a professional work environment. If you are a relative of the leaders then you have all chances of growing in this firm because: - You don't have to be qualified to grow. - No need to have desired skill sets to grow. - No need to work for long hours. - Year on year have 'exceptional performance rating' and every year a promotion + bonus. - Training/ conferences to Europe are like honeymoon trips. There are clear discriminating HR policies in the organization. Many qualified and good people left KPMG Kuwait because growth was limited to sons/relatives of the partners and their favorites.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
