Pros

Great place to work with largely young and highly motivated workforce. Training is first class. KPMG provides opportunities to see different industries, within reason. If you are a very headstrong, driven person you can work on just about any job your would like. Opportunities to travel and work in other offices are plentiful.

Cons

There is a quite a bit of "good ole boy" mentality at play. This is definitely a place where the squeaky wheel gets the grease and where if you are staffed on one of the high profile clients, you earn preferential treatment. Work life balance is given a quite a bit of lip service, but is nonexistent.

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.
