Pros

Fast interview process and good pay (in theory, more below)

Cons

KPMG has deferred start dates for 2023 grads numerous times and provided 0 transparency throughout the process. I was offered and signed in Fall 2022 with a "Summer/Fall 2023" start date. After signing a lease and moving in to an apartment across the country I was informed in May 2023 that the date had been pushed back to 2024. I hung onto hope and got a new job to fill the gap and pay rent. It is now 2024 and the advisory hires that were supposed to start in January have now been pushed back once again to SEPTEMBER 2024, with less than three weeks' notice.

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.
