Pros

MOst of the people are great at KPMG (obviously a few do get through who you wouldn't socialise with if they didn't work with you). So many of the senior staff are approachable which always helps.

Cons

The hours are ALWAYS long especially once you get into years 3 and beyond. It's always "busy season". The appraisal process is flawed and everyone is always moaning about it; unfortunately it's more of a popularity contest than how good the person is, which inevitably causes some of the best people to leave the firm. The salary and bonus is rubbish when compared to bankers/lawyers of a similar intellect!

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.
