KPMG was a great place to start my career...
Pros: KPMG provides lots of opportunities for its people to grow personally and professionally, especially early on in their career.  Starting out, it is possible to experience various types of clients and industries to assist in determining which direction you would like your career to go.  There is typically a team atmosphere and lots of opportunities to get involved in community events if you are interested.
Cons: Typical of public accounting, there are long hours during busy season.  Depending on your position, busy season can last 9+  months/year.  There can be times of high stress due to a variety of factors.  As with most large organizations, there is quire a bit of buracracy and little autonomy on the local levels.
