Pros and cons of working at KPMG Australia
Pros
Lots of other grads so plenty of social opportunities with people your age.
The flexibility of work-from-home vs in-office is terrific.
The team I have joined have been very welcoming, and the expectations are very reasonable.
Good on-the-job learning and exposure to a variety of clients.
The experience provided and the reputation of the firm's talent in the external market.
Cons
There is an underlying trend of long work days from all levels of the firm.
You are dependent on the market swings; you can go a few weeks or months without meaningful work or be extremely busy.
Promotion appears to be locked in to tenure, i.e. one year, two years, not based on performance or knowledge.
Virtual Graduate Program learning is unengaging.
