      Pros

      Learning curve is too steep in the initial days. People pursuing CA or qualified CA will have bright career. Can work for less than 4 hours a day in lean season. KPMG brand is well recognized in the market.

      Cons

      Will have to work to up to 16 hours a day in busy season, Must work for 12-13 hours a day for 4 months, without any overtime pay. Food provided for dinner is spoilt 1/3 of the time. Managers can't speak proper English and are ineffective motivator. Appraisal process is very prejudice. Salary hike for performers is very demotivating. Work and personal life balance is almost non existent.

      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.
