Pros

Compensation and Big 4 name

Cons

Lots of hours, a bit of travel. The possibility of getting a 'bad' client is always there. It is somewhat the luck of the draw. You can draw a great client with a huge budget and enjoy your lunches on them as well as fewer hours spent at the job comparatively. OR, you can get a bad client with a small budget. The people can treat you poorly, you can put in lots of hours, and possibly have bad seniors on the job. KPMG does allow movement within the company if you get bored though. Overall a very great place to work

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.
