Was a good place to work for IT
Pros: I spent 5 years working for KPMG, got involved in several very high profile projects, I learned a lot while at the company.  Work level was high but tolerable and I had no problem maintaining a good work/life balance.
Cons: KPMG at some point got it in their heads that it would be a good idea to outsource their whole IT department, brought in a new CTO and simply cut positions without regard to who knew what at the firm.  I believe the criteria was "we need X people in this group, hold onto the most senior based upon time with the company and get rid of everybody else"  I served to reduce the headcount but several years later KPMG is still paying the price for the short sighted move to outsource.
