Pros

KPMG offers great training - it's almost like going back to school again. Many opportunities to work on diverse clients for a broad-based work experience. Good guidance from seniors.

Cons

You will probably be working longer workings hours than usual. Have to bear with a stifling 'by the book' culture that does not value creativity.

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.
