Pros

There is no shortage of work.

Cons

Always understaffed. KPMG does not care about its employees- they are only concerned with profits for those at the top of the structure. They also do not provide broad experience. You get locked into a specific service line and it is difficult to find rotations in different practices.

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.
