Pros

KPMG offers strong career growth potential, especially if looking to move into another industry. This is definitely a great place to build your resume, since the job offers such a high learning curve and requires that you don't stop learning.

Cons

Public Accountants work a ton of HOURS and do not get paid OVERTIME. This is often times depressing considering the amount of work on hand. Additionally, KPMG has yet to transition to a 100% electronic audit. This is at times inconvenient and causes the company to use a lot of unncessary paper.

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.
