Pros

Less / no work load.

Cons

It was a mistake to join KPMG GLOBAL SERVICES. You won't believe the management has set up an agreement with other competitor big 4 firms which states that a KGS employee should not be hired- the reason being below the poverty line pay due to which there is high attrition rate across all department. I can guarantee you that KGS will pay 2 Lakh less than the industry standards. Secondly senior management is concerned only to track the employee movement & is given zero preference for work experience, only they are concerned is put employee on contract by sending them to foreign countries for few weeks or by putting them in professional qualifications trap- the best way they found to retain employee with very very low pay scale.

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.
