Pros

Strong support to help pass UFE exam. Excellent people. As far as audit firms go, I would recommend KPMG in Vancouver. KPMG paid overtime during my first two years, which for me was essentially travel time. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to travel within Canada, USA, Central America and Africa. These experiences alone were great. However, KPMG is big enough, that if you don't want to travel, there are plenty of local jobs.

Cons

Auditing was not a rewarding job for me personally. This is not a KPMG specific negative - it is more of a job specific negative. Basically, regardless of how well you build relationships with clients, they are always happy to see you leave at the end of the audit. I didn't enjoy that part of the job.

Pros

This industry is always evolving and makes for an interesting ride! There is a lot of growth opportunities if you are willing to carry the load, but it the end it will be very worth it and rewarding.

Cons

In my case, you never know when that next bid for a big proposal is going to come down the line. You'll need to be prepared to work a few extra nights, but it there is a win then it was all worth it.

Pros

Excellent culture, strong leadership. KPMG is what you make of it -- build strong relationships with your peers and management, gain respect, carve yourself a "niche" (a challenge in accounting or tax work) and you're set for life. You can stand up with the support of the Firm's values and code of conduct, and know that even if your immediate boss disagrees with you, someone more senior will give their support.

Cons

First few years are probably the hardest work of your life, but if you cut yourself a niche and build good relationships you can start directing others to do the hard work!
