Pros

+ If you work and study hard, it's a good place to start a career. Even if your experience will be greatly influenced by which office / team / clients you are assigned. + The KPMG brand is still a nice thing to have on your CV

Cons

-Heavy work since the begging, and it gets heavier every year.... -....a large amount of your overtime will not be paid (50-70% overtime paid in finance servicies; 20-30% paid in industrial sector) -The wage increases at a very slow rate compared to the increase of responsibilities and work duties.

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.
