Pros

For anyone who just graduated from school with a business major KPMG is definitely one of the best places to launch a career as it offers various well designed training programs throughout each level of the jobs and the opportunity to gain plenty of experience in a short period of time. I haven't worked in any of other Big 4 firms myself but from what I have heard and the information I got KPMG's culture and working environment is relatively more lay back and easy going. Overall the management is pretty supportive in terms of the work/life balance and serious about maintaining a competent working environment.

Cons

The biggest downside of working at KPMG is the long working hours. Even if the firm management is supportive for creating a work/life balance environment sometimes you just can't find the time to have a "real life" due to the intense working load. So never try to compare the hourly rate you get from working here to others!

Pros

Working a period in audit firm will help you in understanding the balance sheets in a very deep way, so you can easily find, after your experience in KPMG, a good place in another company for accounting job position. After your period as auditor you can apply for job position that otherwise, with your working seniority, you couldn't apply for.

Cons

In Kpmg you have low salary, your life/work balance is not good. At beginnings you have not a bonus earning at the end of the year and also you are not always paied for your extra-time hours in office. Ofte the senior staff of your team is not able to manage people.
