Avis généraux sur l'entreprise KPMG (Jacksonville, FL)
4,0
Just like every other Big 4
The hours are terrible, but the opportunity is enormous. Just like every other Big 4 firm, you'll make way more than you're worth in your first couple of years, you'll soak up a ton of experience during all of your late nights and dinners at your desk, and then you'll be worth way more than you make for a few years. Anyone who jumps ship at the Senior or Manager level can expect to see a great increase in pay outside of public accounting. Anyone that sticks around to make partner can expect to wait about 15 years (give or take 3 years depending on the market), but then partner compensation is pretty fantastic.
Big 4 life is really hard on families. Really hard. 60-80 work weeks for most of the year, frequent travel, and constant social events for clients and coworkers leave little time for anything else in your life. Deciding to join the Big 4 is a lifestyle choice that works best when you're single and have no other responsibilities. If you want to have a family, my advice is to get a few years of experience to launch your career, and then get out before you start having kids.
Points positifsExperience, opportunity, team environment, frequent lunches, dinners, happy hours, and other social events

A really great place to grow and succed....
It was really the first professional company I worked for after leaving retiring from the service. I was relatively new to the civilian work force. They welcomed me with open arms. My office manager made sure I was comfortable in my new position. The door was always open for any questions I may have had. The environment was always joyful, my co-workers were great to be around. And the company itself had so much to offer.
I really enjoyed my duties. Even when we moved from the 32nd floor to the 27th. Wow....that was a week I will never forget. Files, records, office décor.
I learned a lot about corporate America and office politics. It really made me a more experienced person.
Points positifsEveryone was always ready to lend a hand.
Points négatifsHaving to park in the parking garage across the street.

Cpa firm
With a reduced staff, it was difficult to get all projects completed. I decided to have my team focus on meeting client deadlines and put internal projects (surveys and space allocations) on the back burner. This was not acceptable to management outside of our office location. However, no additional assistance was offered.
