Pros

It is a good start as your first job. KPMG has its own working system and methodology. You will learn basic accounting and audit knowledge in short time. This gives you a solid base to further development.

Cons

Sometimes it is very difficult to balance life and work. You need to work overtime frequently, especially in peak season.

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.
