Good opportunities - if you take advantage of them
Pros: You really can control elements of your career progression here toward personal goals (industries, technical skills, etc), and you can have some life outside of work, but you have to actively take steps to do so.  If you don't speak up, propose ideas, make (and leverage) connections, and are unhappy, it's your own fault.
Cons: Not unique to KPMG but the hours are bad.  This job is all-consuming, and there's a culture that you can work anywhere anytime - it can be good when you need flexibility but it can also make it hard to leave work at work.
