Avis généraux sur l'entreprise KPMG (San Diego, CA)
4,0
High Performance Culture Environment
A typical day at work was normally at the client's work site. We performed audit procedures to give an opinion on the accuracy and reliability of the financial statements. I learned how to test internal controls as well as substantive testing. To be able to test accounts on the balance sheet and income statement it was necessary to have an understanding of the company's operations. During my time at KPMG I learned a vast knowledge of how companies operate and the accounting that went along with it. The people who work at KPMG are extremely intelligent and hard working. I have great respect for all of my co-workers. The hardest part of this job was during "busy season" where long hours were expected. The most enjoyable part of my job was the people who I worked with and the opportunity to be exposed to new challenging work.

Hard work during busy season
You will work very hard during busy season, which is hard if you have a family. But the people are great. You learn a lot and the client exposure is fantastic. Benefits and time off are excellent. If you can stick this out, it's a good career.

Great place to start a career
I worked here 17 years ago. While the work wasn’t for me, it was a great place to start a career. The benefits and extra curricular activities are great. The hours are pretty rough but you know that going in.
