Pros

The benefits are great..... and that's about it. They pay is good but the atmosphere is horrible given that you are made to feel incompetent by the senior managers and partners.

Cons

The downside of working at KPMG was the lack of development for junior staff or being perceived as junior staff. I have 15 years in my field and was still considered junior. I know that I still have a lot to learn but I'm not at the same level as recent graduates.... bogus!

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.
