Pros

Maybe a decent name to have on your resume and may look good to some future employers, but that's about it.

Cons

You will get backstabbed, sabotaged, and trampled all over. Coworkers will pull out all the stops to make your life miserable. Even people who are not in direct competition with you will slander you and play all kind of dirty tricks just for sport. There are only two types of people who can survive long term at KPMG: 1. Slimeballs who naturally belong in and flourish in a backstabbing toxic work environment. 2. People who don't mind getting taken advantage of, being stepped all over, and being treated like slaves. If you don't fit into the above two categories, this is NOT the place for you. It's little wonder that most departments in KPMG are like revolving doors. KPMG's bad reputation is very well deserved. It is an absolutely disgusting place to work.

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.
