Pros

The best reason to work for KPMG is the people, the social events, and the benefits. With everyone being at such a young age it's almost like an extension of university. The company also has some pretty decent benefits compared to other large companies.

Cons

There are a couple downsides to working at KPMG. The first is the hours, which can sometimes be brutal during the first 3-4 months of the year (busy season). The other is the compensation, which will definately be lower than industry in your first 3 years. Once in management the salary evens out a bit, but the hours are still tough.

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.
