Pros

KPMG gives you the opportunity to get great exposure to a variety of industries and a good variety of assignments (on the advisory side).

Cons

- Work/life balance is a farce unless your family places professional success ahead of quality time. - No diversity within managers and partners, which discourages minorities from staying with the firm long term. - Not enough green initiatives to reduce administrative time of staff and managers. - Performance ratings and promotions are more based on which managers/partners champion you versus your actual merit.

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.
