Great place to work, great people....boring work!
Pros: MOst of the people are great at KPMG (obviously a few do get through who you wouldn't socialise with if they didn't work with you).  So many of the senior staff are approachable which always helps.
Cons: The hours are ALWAYS long especially once you get into years 3 and beyond.  It's always "busy season".  The appraisal process is flawed and everyone is always moaning about it; unfortunately it's more of a popularity contest than how good the person is, which inevitably causes some of the best people to leave the firm.

The salary and bonus is rubbish when compared to bankers/lawyers of a similar intellect!
