Pros

Definitely a great name to add to your resume. You get a lot of responsibility immediately and are surrounded by pretty sharp people. Everyone is very sociable and laid back. And the best part is getting 5 weeks of PTO. You won't get that anywhere else.

Cons

Medical benefits and 401k are average at best. Minimal say in your travel schedule unless you are a mother. If you are in the IT Advisory practice, it's nearly impossible to rotate to another department because everything else is Accounting related. Some managers are extremely anal about hours. KPMG is also the worst when it comes to technology out of all the Big 4. They aren't even on electronic WPs yet. Long way to go for them on that.

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.
