      Pros

      Since KPMG is one of the Big 4s, the obvious pros are reputation and experience on your resume. KPMG does emphasize training and offer a lot of good methodologies and tools for reference and guide.

      Cons

      Be ready for a very political environment. You have to suck up to move up. You have to know the right people and sing the same song. Management do not communicate big news in a clear and timely manner. Workpapers are very manual, administrative, and time-consuming (plus they are not-chargeable). If you are looking for work/life balance, then do not work here. Certain managers are just plain ***holes.

      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.
