Pros

Young atomosphere and despite a pay reduction good benefits.

Cons

As posted on the job vent site I would totally agree that KPMG seem to pride themselves on reducing your self-esteem as far as possible. Their management is not management it's just aggressive, bullying behaviour and this is how things seem to be run. Again as said on the other job review site don't take a job with them, it's just not worth it......

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.
