Great potential, but don't go into public accounting unless you want to work hard and be underpaid for it. - Audit Senior Associate KPMG Employee Review

Pros

Experience at KPMG provides a great basis for a person to start off in business. There are many opportunities for career advancement and as long as one continues to do well and work hard the sky is the limit as far as career prospects.

Cons

There are lots of hours involved in auditing and tax, and a lot of how far a person can advance in the firm is based on the amount of stuff that the person can put up with while at the firm.

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.
