Pros

The base salary is the most competitive of all Big 4 firms. They also give you the most vacation days of any Big 4 firm. I believe most give around 16 days vacation, but KPMG gives around 25. Great Location on Park Avenue in New York City. Great culture, everyone is extremely friendly, not snobby and stuck up like other Big 4 firms I worked for. KPMG truly cares about their employees. If you ever have to choose between big 4 firms, I would definitely choose KPMG.

Cons

Nothing except that you obviously work long hours.

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.
