Good development perspectives, friendly work environment, a good way to improve accounting knowledge and commercial skills, good working conditions and faciliaties

In France, the pay scale for the first two years depend on the uni you come from, but salaries are levelled when reaching Senior grade. Salary is decent but compared to the time spent working it may appear unsatisfactory

Pros

Great general benefits however not as good as it was when I first started at the firm 11 years ago. Firm used to provide better employee incentives but no longer provides. Employee experience all depends on who you report to and work with. Some have great experiences, while others are completely over-worked.

Cons

Let go during RIF. When I started with the firm back in 2015, RIF's didn't occur much but now has become the normal once a year at minimum at KPMG. You must be on top of you game now (high performance culture) otherwise can be let go at any moments notice. Unfortunately if you do amazing on your engagement work, doesn’t mean anything to leadership and can still be let go, especially at manager level and requires you to put many additional hours per week doing extra curricular (Business Proposals, Certifications, etc.).
