Pros

Big 4 is the Big 4. Get the experience wherever you can but as I compare my experience at KPMG against what I've heard from friends at other firms, we're able to take more PTO, managers ans partners are more supportive of flexible work schedules (working from home/leaving early), highly intelligent coworkers and never ending knowledge sharing and learning.

Cons

When you value work life balance and a life outside of KPMG, you will likely grow to despise the rating system at KPMG. You can provide quality work, but you are always competing against some peers who go more than just above and beyond.

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.
