Pros

the people at KPMG are great, and there are parts of the business that do incredible engagements with very talented people.

Cons

internal systems and support not what they should be, lots of unneccesary beaurocracy..feels a little bit like working in central government sometimes, which is at odds with the client facing feel of the firm. Very hard to get promoted.

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.
