Pros

The best reason to work for KPMG is the name you get to put on your resume. You also get exposure to all aspects of accounting and you really learn alot about how companies work and financial reporting. You get tremendous exposure to upper management at the clients. They give five weeks vacation and are flexible with the work arrangements outside of busy season.

Cons

The firm really enjoys having face time. You live at the clients during the year end audit, no matter what. It kills your morale and makes you question what you are doing with your life. Its the primary reason people quit.

Pros

Access to top companies/clients. Big 4 firms are the only place to obtain that kind of experience. Great resources for education and career advancement. If you do not wish to be on partner track, the network is more than happy to help you get placed with a client (subject to the rules of course) or keep in touch with you so that you can become a client.

Cons

It is very difficult to maintain the work/life balance and meet billing quotas. To bill to one hour of quota one must work about 2 hours. That becomes difficult when travelling and you have a family to take care of. Many of the required activities are not considered part of the revenue quota.
