Pros

Awesome work life balance can be found at KPMG. With 25 personal paid days off a year plus the eight or so holidays, there is always plenty of time to spend with friends and family. In general, most of the people in the workplace are smart, kind, and interesting, although there are quite a few "corporates" that treat work like a political battleground.

Cons

It's easy to get comfortable with all the perks and hard to get off and leave. It is possible to stagnate. I also feel that some of the skills I develop, "technical" or not might not really apply outside the workplace...so how can I possibly leave one day?

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.
