It starts out great but doesn't stay that way - Anonymous employee KPMG Employee Review

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.

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.
