Pros

KPMG's investment in its employee's is amazing. Management's desire to see competent staff succeed and improve is phenomenal. This is Big4 public accounting we're talking about - yes you kill yourself for half the year, sometimes more, but in my experience management is very aware of the toll the hours take on its staff. Extra paid time off, generous end-of-engagement gifts, and bonuses all make putting in the extra work a little less excruciating.

Cons

Long hours come with the job. I repeat - long, long hours come with the job. Anyone who complains of the hours worked ought not have taken a job at a Big4 firm. There are little annoyances, but none worth calling out in this forum.

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.
