Pros

1. The brand name of KPMG is very attractive to other companies. 2. Exposure to target and client management can be substantial 3. Great networking opportunities with others

Cons

1. Work/life balance can be a b**** some time 2. Personal time is often sacrificed 3. You have to force yourself to build "relationship" with managers, directors and partners so you could get onto projects 4. Transparency could be improved 5. It takes two or more to communicate messages - whether we have layoffs or not, let us know...

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.
