Great people but the consulting group isn't organized the pay is low
Pros: I met some very talented people and learned a lot in a short time span.  The firm is getting better and there is increased opportunity for international rotations and working on internal strategic initiatives.  Also there is a plenty of opportunity for alternate travel.  I went to Hawaii, UK, France, Mexico, and all over the US.
Cons: There a lot of engagements where hundreds of people are basically outsourced labor performing tasks like document review.  The firm makes a ton of money on these.  Stay away from the financial services practice because that is mostly what they do.  Some of the partners are very passive aggressive so make sure you meet your partner and like him.  The pay is usually about 15% less than other consulting firms and KPMG moved to a 3 year promotion requirement where almost all employees are required to stay in their roles for 3 years....that means your salary barely increases at all for 3 years out of school.  NO THANKS!  Also the pay bumps are smaller than normal and bonuses are a joke.
