A good place to start your career
Pros: Definitely a great name to add to your resume. You get a lot of responsibility immediately and are surrounded by pretty sharp people. Everyone is very sociable and laid back. And the best part is getting 5 weeks of PTO. You won't get that anywhere else.
Cons: Medical benefits and 401k are average at best. Minimal say in your travel schedule unless you are a mother. If you are in the IT Advisory practice, it's nearly impossible to rotate to another department because everything else is Accounting related. Some managers are extremely anal about hours. KPMG is also the worst when it comes to technology out of all the Big 4. They aren't even on electronic WPs yet. Long way to go for them on that.
