Pros

KPMG offers good training program to new employees and there is great opportunitiy to get exposure of a variety of industries. This would be a good opportunity for someone who is interested in working in a fast paced, dynamic and deadline-driven enrivonment to get oneself fast pushed all the time.

Cons

Too much overtime working and sometimes unpaid for the time you overworked. For mega IPO projects, staff are responsible for finding hotels by themselves and usually due to the fact that the KPMG will pay the bill, the budget becomes extremely tight and from time to time hotel conditions are poor. Turnover rate is high always and staff do not have much freedom in choosing the projects they are interested in. Sometimes the process is much like a lottery and someone who is unlucky enough may ended up with a eleven months business trip out of the city.

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.
