Pros

This is a a good place build your career if you are coming out of college. The firm offers a lot of exposure to different kinds of business however you have a chance to get type casted. Above all, KPMG is working hard towards becoming the employer of choice and it offers good benefits .

Cons

Due to it being a partnership firm, there are a lot of secrecy towards sharing of financial numbers with employees or even finding out background information on events that may affect you - both financially or professionally. Promotions are not handled fairly - you need to be in good books of your partner. At the level of staff positions (associates/senior associates) there is no consideration of past experience and training (higher degrees like MS/MBA/PhD) that you may bring to the table - they do not hold much value.

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.
