Pros

The experience gained in the first few years. You will join KPMG and realize that college did not teach you very much about auditing, however KPMG does do a good job of teaching you. The experience you learn in the first 2 years is irriplaceable and would take much longer to gain at other companies.

Cons

The compensation and hours worked. Depending on who you work with you may work 8 hours and accomplish everything you need to, or you may be stuck with someone who just works to work and will keep you there 12 hours for no reason.

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.
