Pros

The best reason to work for KPMG is the name you get to put on your resume. You also get exposure to all aspects of accounting and you really learn alot about how companies work and financial reporting. You get tremendous exposure to upper management at the clients. They give five weeks vacation and are flexible with the work arrangements outside of busy season.

Cons

The firm really enjoys having face time. You live at the clients during the year end audit, no matter what. It kills your morale and makes you question what you are doing with your life. Its the primary reason people quit.

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.
