Pros

KPMG is a good place to go right out of college. I have learned interesting things about business as a whole, even though it is through the eyes of an auditor/accountant.

Cons

The work life balance can be brutal, especially during busy season. The work can be repetitive and boring. Some of the seniors you will work for are not too bright.

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.
