KPMG - There is no better Big4
Pros: KPMG's investment in its employee's is amazing. Management's desire to see competent staff succeed and improve is phenomenal. This is Big4 public accounting we're talking about - yes you kill yourself for half the year, sometimes more, but in my experience management is very aware of the toll the hours take on its staff.  Extra paid time off, generous end-of-engagement gifts, and bonuses all make putting in the extra work a little less excruciating.
Cons: Long hours come with the job. I repeat - long, long hours come with the job. Anyone who complains of the hours worked ought not have taken a job at a Big4 firm. There are little annoyances, but none worth calling out in this forum.
