Good name for resume, but little else
Pros: Good information sharing, excellent opportunity to build knowledge in a vertical segment and/or work across industries and with varying clients.  Great place to build ability to work with senior management at clients and to learn new things
Cons: Favoritism, politics and a focus on fees a huge drawback.  it's a partnership, so expect continual pressure on fees; income comes first, quality comes second.  The kpmg values are given lipservice.  Basically a professional sweatshop, but if you can make it through a few years at kpmg, then you can be successful anywhere.  Lots of so-called leaders can talk a lot, but have no real substance behind their words
