Employment status: current

A great company, but beware of internal politics and back-stabbing.
Pros: KPMG has an excellent reputation in the market, and is making solid progress to becoming the top Big 4 Firm.  There are a breadth of opportunities within the organization, and there is solid support in terms of training and career development.  Having KPMG on your resume can definitely lead to great opportunities down the road - as they say, "KPMG is a great place to start your career".
Cons: Unfortunately, the benefits of KPMG come at a pretty high price, especially as you move up in level.  There is a very cut-throat culture internally, especially within the Advisory practice.  Team building and cross-functional cooperation is almost non-existent.  You are remembered more for your deficits than for your accomplishments.  KPMG is trying desperately to provide some structure and process around its go to market approach, but a pervasive territorial mentality is making it very difficult.
