Q&A With KPMG Employees

Paid time off system. Associate get 21 days, Seniors 27days, ... You have to work with your engagement teams/managers and the PML (Coach) to get the time off approved ahead of time. Besides that, you get additional 2 weeks off around the Christmas / New Years holiday season.

No different than at other accounting firms. No work life balance during busy seasons, but fairly normal the remainder of the year. Average non-busy season hours range between 40-45 hours a week.

Unpredictable. Some weeks you work a standard 40 hours, then unexpectedly 60 the next. Then there's busy season where it's constant 60 hour weeks for 3 months.

4.9 % - Not happy as this increase doesn't match my performance.

I received a 7% raise, plus a 5% performance bonus. I was satisfied with both, since this was not a year when I was being considered for promotion. (When I was last promoted, I received a 17% increase in base salary.)
