Pros

Pay is good. Professional environment for the most part.

Cons

As a consultant at KPMG you can kiss your family, friends, and personal life goodbye. You are expected to work long hours and at times expected to do it for free even if you are an hourly consultant. Its ironic to see the many complaints from employees on this website because onsite they stand on a pedestal and look down on consultants. The sitting location for consultants has to be some kind of a code violation, they will stick 3 to 4 consultants into one cubicle, or worse put some folding tables in a poorly ventilated room and stick a bunch of people working elbow to elbow. I have more but you get the point, DO NOT work here as a consultant.

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.
