      Pros

      Best way to learn about the worst possible firm among big 4 in Switzerland.

      Cons

      HR has no experience and cannot resolve issues, bad pays and no system of bonuses, its all based on relationships, people have zero experience even at the highest level and if your ambitious they will make sure to try to cut you off. I have worked in 2 other big 4s both deloitte and PWC and KPMG is the worst of the worst. Save your time and go to any other firm that will give you better experience, better brand and better money. They have open job vacancies for years and no body would join because its well known for a crappy reputation. If you really like KPMG go to KPMG germany or UK. Swiss KPMG has no projects on the advisory side. I speak from experience.

      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.
