Pros

Culture and people. KPMG is just like what you expect from a Big 4. Training and experience, to work for KPMG is to take the first step into the financial world.

Cons

The greatest concern for most graduates is the starting salary. Sadly, this is an area KPMG is not as competitive in relative to each compititors. They advertise on their website that their remuneration is competitive to the rest of the market, but truth be told it is more on the lower end of the scale. But they do try to compensate with other benefits. But it is difficult to evaluate the value of these other additional benefits like sick leave and such.

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.
