Decent place to start a career
Pros: people are dedicated and willing to share experience at KPMG.  it feels like school where more senior members on the team assign the tasks to you and check your work when you finish.  you learn a lot from the people you work with.  And after 1-3 years most people who choose to leave will land on great jobs in financial services, consulting or corporate finance.
Cons: work can at times be very tedious and can seem endless; hours can extend without boundaries when deadlines come up or when a demanding client/partner have an emergent task--this happens, not very rarely, even just within the months when i was interning.  you may feel you work as hard as a consultant, or even i-banker, but certainly get paid comparatively less.
