This is a partnership, so management only cares about their OWN bottom line instead of employees happiness. - Advisory Manager KPMG Employee Review

Pros

None at all... what's there?

Cons

Long hours, politics, backstabbing. This is a partnership, so management only cares about their OWN bottom line. During busy season, you are REQUIRED to work 50 hours a week. But if there is only 1 project with 40 CHARGEABLE hours, what do you do? Take another project that will take NOT 10 hours / week extra but another 4 hrs / day minimum.

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.
