Pros

Pay, Benefits, Travel, and industry exposure... The training is almost all on the job so you will have to learn as you go for the most part. Clients are very diverse and so is some of the work that you are exposed to as first year associate. Promotions are predominantly based on time and performance. Variety of locations across the United States. You can work pretty much anywhere there is a KPMG office.

Cons

Long Hours during busy season, lack of diversity among senior leadership in the firm, and hardly any extensive training process. Travel can also be a burden as well during the busy months.

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.
