Pros

KPMG has a good variety of online training courses. A generous 4 weeks of paid vacation. Ample unassigned time while getting paid.

Cons

No work/life balance Too much politics in the senior management. Management considers staff as just "body" Unfair promotion based on popularity

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.
