Pros

If you're sure that you want to pursue a long-term career in accounting then KPMG is a great place to start your career as it will provide you with endless accounting related opportunities. In general, the auditing profession provides you with a great opportunity to see many different companies and gain a better understanding of business. KPMG-Minneapolis has a great set of clients unmatched by the other big 4 firms in Minneapolis.

Cons

The profession has a way of pigeon-holing you into a career in accounting, so I would suggest starting out in industry instead if you're not certain that accounting is the path for you. The KPMG-Minneapolis works alot of hours which is a product of having a great set of clients (ie. always work to be done).

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.
