      Pros

      The only reason I would work for KPMG is to get my CA designation.

      Cons

      Although the recruitment team preaches work life balance, this is far from the truth. Especially during busy season. The team you are placed on either makes or breaks it for you. When you are all cramped in a stuffy office for 15 hours a day for 2 months it helps to have a good team haha. Also overtime hours are not paid out to you. But there has been new legislation regarding the eligibily of employees to be paid overtime. Hopefully this will help in some respects.

      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.
