My starting salary was $58k in 2008 straight out of college. 25 days of paid vacation (sick days are included).

I am very happy with my job! I am in the Advisory practice. I enjoy going to different clients and gaining experience and different companies. The hours can be long sometimes, but it's really not that bad. You will learn a lot and it's much better than having a 9-5 job at the same place everyday doing the exact same thing.

As an intern, I was paid $22.50 per hour and received time-and-a-half when working overtime.

I know many people that are looking to switch to another accounting firm (including myself). Employee morale is low because the Tax business has slowed down significantly. KPMG has consistently stayed at the bottom of the Big Four accounting firms.

I made a salary of 60K while working as an Audit Manager in 2000. The salaries at the Big Four accounting firms are pretty much all standard and all the same.

I was hired in 2005 as an Associate at KPMG where I received $50,000 salary. I don't feel that this is fair compensation considering that I graduated from Yale and received my Masters Degree in Finance there as well.

We get flex hours and we get paid-time-off. However, I have noticed that Managers and Partners look down on you if you use your benefits. If you want to grow within the company, you need to work extremely hard and not take your PTO.

We have so much fun in the office. We go to many happy hours and the Holiday Parties are so fun! I can honestly say that I have met many great people who I will be friends with for a lifetime.

I don't feel like my peers or my managers are people that I can look up to. It seems that KPMG hires so much that they'll let pretty much anyone into the firm. I don't like that my peers just go to work, go back home, and then repeat the process all over again. I would like a company where people are much more motivated to do things outside of work that are productive.

People work extremely hard here. There s a trend that I see: as you get older within the company and get more and more work and responsibilities, you tend to have a meaner and more abrupt personality. There is not really a great work-life balance, and the work that we do in Audit can get very redundant and boring.

The firm is doing exceptionally well. However, being part of the Big Four means that there are 3 other extraodinary firms that we are competing against. Every employee gets their own laptop, get many perks, and is paid a decent salary. Employee morale is also decent, and I have seen many Directors switch from KPMG to Deloitte, PWC, or EY.

Do you love to make binders? Well if you do, then you will be making a whole lot of them here. We run quality checks and then place our documents in huge binders to keep them organized! In order to be a strong auditor, you need to be able to reference and check numbers quickly, create binders extremely fast, and be able to teach the next person how to work your magic red pencil! Woohoo!!!

I love the people here! I'm able to work the long hours because everyone I work with is my close friend. I feel the Culture is Neutral though because the higher-ups only care about charegeability. They only care about completing your billable hours. As an analyst or a senior, they don't really care about us much.

I like my company because the culture is young and fresh. I have learned a lot while working here, and we are hiring a lot of people all the time. Audit is not the best job in the world, but working with great people makes any job worth while

I am in the Audit practive. The core of what we do is to ensure that everything in our client company is functioning the right way under a controlled system. We make sure thatt data is existing the system completely and accurately. So what we do are Quality Check: we sit down and compare numbers on sheets to make sure that they total correctly and much up well!

I was an Audit intern for KPMG during a summer. The culture was great, young, and the people in the office work very hard workers. We went out all the time and had plenty of happy hour sessions. Managers and Directors are very friendly, but I did find the Partners to be a little intimidating. KPMG is always pushing for diversity (woman and minorities) and our dress code is business casual in the office.

KPMG has a vibrant and young culture. It feels nice walking into work and knowing that most of the people you're working with are from your generation. The employees are very diverse, and there are many women and minorities represented here. Office dress is very business casual unless we're meeting with clients or making formal presentations.

The company outlook is looking good. My division is the forensics and litigation side and we have a lot of work because of Sarbanes Oxley. I feel very secure at my job and know that I will be at the company for years to come.

I work for Risk Advisory Services which is a division in our Advisory Practice. I do enjoy my work. I perform operational audits for clients on a risk-basaed perspective. My favorite type of work is performance improvement work. Its pretty much the closest thing to consulting that we have.

I usually work about 60 hours a week. During the busy seasons (that usually range from March - October), I can expect to work anywhere from 70-80 hours per week. The firm can be stressful at times, but as long as you get your work done, you'll get by.

KPMG is lacking some serious leadership from the top. Your peers are great people to work with (analyst to senior), but the Directors and Partners are not very welcoming. One thing that I can say is that you will learn a lot about what NOT to do as a leader. Stable company with lots of business, but you will be working a lot of hours.

I was hired straight out of college in 2004 and was paid a salary of 42K. My current salary (4 years later) is 79K. I receive about $9000 in bonus at the end of every year.

Instead of evaluating us on our contributions, value, and effectiveness, we are evaluated on our billable hours and how many billable hours we work. This puts a great strain on the culture because we're more focused on doing mindless work than actually creating value for our clients.

I was brought into KPMG as a Senior Associate in 2007 for $95,000. For the past two years, I've received a raise of about $5,000 each year. I receive 25 days of vacation every year, which I absolutely love and use it to the fullest. 10 Holidays a year also makes me very happy.

I started in 2005 straight out of my undergrad in Tax and recevied $45,000. However, I did not receive a signing bonus.
