Pros
KPMG pays pretty well and it is easy for someone to take on a lot of responsibility early in their career.
Cons
The hours at KPMG, like many public accounting firms, can be unbearable for some. Be prepared to work 60+ hours per week, on average. Also, during the time I was there, promises of bonuses were made to employees. Once the company incurred the large tax shelter penalty, these bonuses were not given. Originally it was stated, in writing that 80% of employees would receive bonuses. In reality, the actual percentage was much, much lower.
