Best thing is the people
Pros: Great people, all approachable and helpful. If you want more responsibility then you can take it (but be careful not to screw up - fortunately I never did, but I always felt that if I had then my motives would have been considered as well as the results). Flexible working conditions and times. Opportunities for internal transfers. Great prospects for moving on with KPMG on your CV/resume.
Cons: Sometimes the people are too nice to be as effective as they maybe should be. There were times that I wished for someone with a bit more steel and a more disciplined outlook - helps when things really need to get done.

HR-prescribed annual performance reviews are probably par for the course for all large employers, but that didn't stop me getting annoyed by the whole silly process.
