Big 4
Pros: The Big 4 name and the people. KPMG has many worlds inside itself. If you change from one team to another, is like changing from one company to another, everything is totally different. So if you're bored with one area, change to a different team and learn about other stuff without leaving company.
Cons: The balance between work and life is poor. People work over time and has no time for anything else. Many teams lack work life balance, but pay enough lip service to it that they won't admit it when you interview, so be careful; it is not unheard of for 60 hour weeks to be a norm, so consider that when negotiating salary; in rare cases, it can be worse than that.
