Pros

KPMG allows you to learn alot about auditing, advisory, and contracting. Training is mandatory and emphasized. The company also recognizes relevant certifications and rewards employees with bonuses and reimbursement. You can travel if traveling is what you want. Pay is also pretty decent.

Cons

LONG hours. 10 hour days are normal. 12 hour days are common with no overtime pay, especially during the busy season. Instead of overtime pay, bonuses are based on "utilization" at the end of the year.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
