Pros

KPMG pays pretty well and it is easy for someone to take on a lot of responsibility early in their career.

Cons

The hours at KPMG, like many public accounting firms, can be unbearable for some. Be prepared to work 60+ hours per week, on average. Also, during the time I was there, promises of bonuses were made to employees. Once the company incurred the large tax shelter penalty, these bonuses were not given. Originally it was stated, in writing that 80% of employees would receive bonuses. In reality, the actual percentage was much, much lower.

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.
