Pros

If you are looking to start working at a big-4 firm KPMG is great if you are a self-starter, pro-active towards senior management in shaping your role and willing -as you should with any consultancy to work long hours. You will need to develop your internal network quickly and, if you do you can have a great time here.

Cons

KPMG's consultancy practice is being rebuilt -after KPMG sold its consulting practice to Atos- and it seems sometimes management is re-inventing the wheel. the partnership model inhibits global integration and career opportunities making the company very country focused. You have to create opportunities, the company won't do it for you...

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.
