Great people but lack of directon
Pros: I started straight out of university into KPMG and went through the chartered accounting training with them. They provide a lot of support and you develop a real level of professionalism. You also meet some great people along the way who generally have great work ethic and are bright. Overall I had a brilliant experience at KPMG and was there for 8 year. I managed to move around departments and go on a secondment so definitely made the most of what the firm could offer.
Cons: There are some poor partner behaviours and they seem to get away with quite a lot although this is changing. The more senior you get, the more exposed you get to the bureaucracy of the place.  If you work client facing, the hours can be pretty bad so are unsustainable.
