Great Place to Start
Pros: Large network of resources, excellent training (both technical and soft-skills), brand recognition within the industry, and opportunities for travel are all available at KPMG.
Cons: Same issues here as there are at many firms: extreme favoritism when it comes to raises, promotions, and recognition, issues with work-life balance, difficulty balancing views of management and staff when it comes to feedback.  KPMG seems to be the most reactionary of the Big 4 when it comes to issues, changes in corporate culture, and technology, and that makes it very frustrating to envision staying here more than three to four years.  Turf wars, in addition, are to be expected but I would expect senior management to understand the impact and take steps to reign the counterproductive pieces of those games in, but they don't.
