Pros

Brand Recognition Salary Yearly Trainings Good place to start

Cons

The culture at kpmg is toxic. It was somewhat good. Like any new job, you love it the first 6 months, but after that, it slowly sucks the life right out of you until there is none left. The result of you after working for kpmg is that you have an empty soul.

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.
