Pros

The flexibility in work life balance. Although there is not as much freedom with respect to our Audit and Tax branches, freedom and independence are excellent in the Advisory practice. KPMG, compared to other BIG FOUR accounting firms, offers 5 weeks of vacation - much more than you'd get at D&T, E&Y and PWC for non-management/staff.

Cons

Organization when it comes to scheduling is sometimes lacking and percentage of travel can be very high.

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.
