Pros

- Great chance to follow a lot of different projects, learning fast and improving your CV - Managers are highly qualified and really available in supporting you in developing new skills - Even during the 2008-2009 crisis no one was discharged - Senior consultants are given a healthcare insurance

Cons

HR management highly improvable: - few team building opportunities - really low salary compared with public commpanies - overtime is not directly paid (but bonuses are provided at year end) - Company car is provided but you are requested to pay around 150-180 € per month - Some time you will be required to work from 10-14 hours a day for a long period (1-3 months) or to work during week-ends - no international training opportunities. Internal training is not so good (the average duration of a course is 1 day) - few opportunities of having an international experience working for other international KPMG entities - meal tickets are not provided and a cafeteria service is not available

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
