Pros

(KPMG Italy) - Stability (it's next to impossible to get fired) - Salary arrives always on time - Good name for a first job experience

Cons

(KPMG Italy) - It's filled with office drones and workaholics. - Creative and out-of-the-box thinking is completely discouraged - Job gets boring and repetitive after less than 2 months - The worst possible employee evaluation system ever created that aims to having the most average possible people getting the highest positions

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.
