Pros

Good information sharing, excellent opportunity to build knowledge in a vertical segment and/or work across industries and with varying clients. Great place to build ability to work with senior management at clients and to learn new things

Cons

Favoritism, politics and a focus on fees a huge drawback. it's a partnership, so expect continual pressure on fees; income comes first, quality comes second. The kpmg values are given lipservice. Basically a professional sweatshop, but if you can make it through a few years at kpmg, then you can be successful anywhere. Lots of so-called leaders can talk a lot, but have no real substance behind their words

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.
