Pros

If you want to be an associate and move up the ranks to becoming a partner, this firm is for you; otherwise, stay away!

Cons

The job feels more like accounts payable. My skills is not being utilized; accounting is boring; the organization is Pro Partners then for employees (although KMPG does a great job of internal marketing). It's accounting and there is nothing exciting about working for an accounting firm! To think I took an $8K paycut to come to a firm that I'm not even happy.

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.
