Boy's club that is great for your career
Pros: Pay is good, perks are good. Work is interesting. Training is fantastic. Having KPMG on your CV will get you an interview anywhere you want in the future. Managers are very personally supportive.  Having a clear career progression is nice.
Cons: Sexism. 
Not horrendous, and if you bring it up to management they'll be responsive, but obviously as a women you can't bring it up constantly or you'll be the harpy. Here are some of the things I heard/experienced while working at the Edinburgh branch, especially when I was the only woman in the room in a large team so I guess they forgot it wasn't just the lads:
-male colleague suggested that women get a much better deal since if you want some time off, just have a baby
-male colleagues regularly commenting on the appearance of female colleagues or random women we drove past
-I had to ask a manager not to make jokes about killing strippers. He apologized, so that's nice.
-"Why is she even still here" about an extremely competent female manager coming back from mat leave - since she had two kids and a successful husband, why bother with her own career
-Around this time, management announced target percentages for women at each level. Male colleague commented might as well transfer to another firm since they're only going to promote women instead of the best person
-Male colleagues organizing at least one men-only social event - when I asked about it I was told "the girls will probably organize a shopping trip or something"
