Pros

As at any of BIG4 Auditors: - career advancement is clear and constant - colleagues are younger than in other places and generally very easy to interact with - full access to the relevant knowledge base, opportunities for professional certification are also provided by th? employer Particularly at KPMG: - overtime is "reimbursed" with additional days of paid vacation - salary (at least for entry position) is always maintained on- or above the level in PWC, Delloitte or E&Y

Cons

As at any of BIG4 Auditors: - long hours during the busy season - dependence on particular project's conditions (time boundaries/who is the manager/who is your in-charge) in relation to "how difficult it will be for you personally" - not very entertaining (accountancy, huh)

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.
