Pros

KPMG is a great training ground for fresh graduates who either want to build a career in the field of accounting or has not determined what to do as a career. One will gain a lot of work experiences with different industries, companies, clients, and people. KPMG also offer good internal training programs. Also, KPMG managment is good in recognising and rewarding good work.

Cons

Probably similar to other Big 4 firms, working at KPMG means long working hours and lots of travelng (especially in the advisory practice). During busy times, one needs to work 12-15 hours a day (not including the time spent in training, administration, and traveling). Therefore, there isn't much personal time. However, when the economy is down, one may stay in the office whole day doing nothing.

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.
