Pros

KPMG is a good company to start your career with. You'll be able to see the inner workings of your clients and find out what works and what doesn't. The compensation and benefits are also very good compared to other jobs coming out of college.

Cons

The hours can be long, and this varies by practice and office. Some groups work much more than others. Management is very inconsistent. Although the firm has no shortage of policies and codes of conduct, individual managers have a lot of discretion and can be erratic and inconsistent with their requirements. Some managers are very stingy in their performance reviews and others are generous.

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.
