Pros

The experience is top rate. You cannot get better experience anywhere else except for the Big 4. All Big 4 are roughly the same though.

Cons

The pay is a joke. KPMG is the worst of the Big 4 as far as I can see in talking with classmates who work at other firms. Even local firms make more than KPMG.

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.
