Pros
Great opportunities for advancement, some of the best training programs that I've seen anywhere, a real pride in diversity. The people are generally fun to work with, as well.
Cons
I really only see two disadvantages to working at KPMG, but they're pretty significant. First and foremost, the "work-life balance" thing is a myth. Forget about 40 hour weeks, particularly if you're in the Audit practice. Additionally, salaries tend to be lower than in other comparable multinational firms - the only people making six figures and above are Managers, Senior Managers, Managing Directors, and Partners (and the vast overwhelming majority of employees leave the firm before making those levels.)
