Pros

It is a great place to start your career. At the end of three years of employment, there are practically endless opportunities available. The people are very cool and fun to be around, and it makes working long hours very easy. The diverse relationships you build in your first three years are incredibly valuable to building your network. I started my career at KPMG with an internship and I would recommend that experience to any person who has the chance to do it.

Cons

The hours are very long. Although the hours are very long, it is quite consistent with the industry.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
