Pros

KPMG is a large international company with travel opportunities. It is well known in the industry and is well respected by the business world. I was able to work on large clients which provided a great knowledge base for my future growth. KPMG also provided an extensive training program which kept us up to date on the most current industry standards. Additionally, the firm provided us with the most up to date technology and sufficient training to properly utilize the technology. One of the best benefits was that trainings were held on a national level and provided for travel to different parts of the country and alos provided a glimpse into how other offices were doing the same tasks.

Cons

Because the company is so large it is sometimes hard to get into the position / industry of interest. Sometimes you do feel simply like a number. One of the largest downsides was that the firm required the staff to have a presence at the client for 12 months of the year. In my 2+ years with the firm I worked in KPMG's actual office space for maybe 10 days. There were times when I felt that I was more an employee of the client then I was of the firm because I had more of a daily interation with their employees then my own colleagues.

Pros

Good opportunities and wide exposure to business needs and challenges. Gives you a behind the scenes look into real life businesses and how they operate. I also like the travel and the opportunities to see places I probably would not have been able to get to on my own easily.

Cons

It's a big place and easy to get lost in the shuffle. You need to make sure that you have strong networks so that you can get exposed to the right opportunities and the right people. You also need to be able to take initiative and find ways of standing out so that you don't become just another cog in the machine.

Pros

Wide variety of work and projects to choose from (different industries and sectors, different transactions, opportunity for business development work even at a junior level) Internal moves and overseas secondments are highly encouraged Lots of investment in training & development Flexibility of working hours during downtimes

Cons

High degree of unpredictability in workload (little visibility over future projects and workload due to transaction-based projects). Not for those who prefer a stable life. High tendency for partners/directors to be reactive towards client needs, even if demands are unreasonable Lacking investment in IT infrastructure (PC specs are too low to open multiple spreadsheets and documents without crashing!)
