      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.

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
