Pros

Great experience and a great learning environment. You will work with many intelligent people at KPMG. This is a great company to work for to gain initial job experience. Salary was very good compared to most other industries. I would consider this a consultant type position at comparing salaries.

Cons

Depending on your group, there could be quite a bit of travel. Also, promotion and advancement is dependent on how well certain management speaks up on your behalf. You will also work an average of 50-60 hours per week. Not conducive to a "normal" home and family life. I saw that peers with families had a very difficult time with life/work balance.

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.
