Avantages
1. KPMG offers not only a great salary, but offers some amazing benefits to everyone. I receive seventy-five cents for every dollar up to 5% of my salary that I put into my 401(k) plan, but not only do I get that for retirement, I also receive a pensions plan with a contribution of $5,000 at the start, and then yearly credits that increase with seniority and position. 2. The people that I work with are from top tier universities here in Texas. They are all understanding and give you the tools needed to succeed in your job. They take the time to teach and ensure that you will succeed on the projects you work on. 3. KPMG is very active in the community and is always trying ways to get everyone involved to making Houston a better city to live in.
Inconvénients
Honestly, there are no downsides to working at KPMG. There are only downsides to working in the accounting industry as a whole. These may include long hours during certain times of the year - no 8 to 5 here. Don't get me wrong, there are days that we can leave on time, but as we are very project driven, it just depends on what you are working on. One thing I can say about KPMG is that there is no overtime. Overtime is not given at any big four accounting firm, but some of the smaller firms still offer it at my level and I am sure it comes in real handy when trying to pay the bills.
