Pros

KPMG, just like other Big 4, has a name in the industry. Working for KPMG allows one to interact to clients who are prospective employers as well. KPMG also has a good online training program that an employee who wants to utilize these can gain valuable knowledge about a slew of things. At the end of the day, a KPMG employee will have the opportunity to learn as much as the employee wants to learn as long as he/she puts in the time. I also believe that the management is usually supportive of employees who put in the effort to diversity one's skills.

Cons

One downside of working at KPMG is the amount of work required to perform especially during busy season. I think that one's life is literally put on hold because the busy season. Also, while it is firm's policy that one does not eat hours, it seems that management expects one to eat hours. As a firm, KPMG has different practices, and usually these practices are not very integrated. As such, I think it is difficult to move from one practice to another. I also think that moving to another location, although possible, requires more effort to do than just getting a new job at a different firm or company.

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.
