Pros

KPMG offers fair compensation in adidtion to an abundance of growth opportunities. Another benefit of working for KPMG is the notoriety associated with working for one of the big 4. I am going to add an additional sentence to fill up the remaining words. I apologize if this is less than helpful for you readers.

Cons

Within the Advisory practice at KPMG there is an expectation to travel extensively. As with most consulting positions, this will likely suit young, single individuals better than those with significant others in their lives. On a similar note, the work schedule is rather demanding with little abililty to control deadlines that are dictated by the client. Lastly, the newly promoted managers do little to promote knowledge sharing within the team.

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.
