Good job if you're looking at it short term, but not sure if this is a great place for a long term career.
Pros: You learn a lot about a variety of different industries.  Your co-workers are very sharp for the most part.  They are also very generous with vacation days (5 weeks!).  If you request time off far enough in advance you are actually able to take those days unlike some other places.
Cons: If you are not an accountant, the brand doesn't do much for you.  There is also the bureaucracy and politics that you get from any large company.  As you move up the career ladder at KPMG, politics becomes more and more important as there is a lot of jockeying going on behind the scenes as to who gets credit for a client win, etc.  Although I imagine that this is probably no different from any of the other large consulting firms.
