KPMG Houston audit associate
Pros: I found the audit practice to be a good way to gain experience across differing industries and to see many specific business functions through the course of audit work.  It helped me see firsthand which types of jobs and what companies I might consider working for the in the future.  Definitely improved my communication and presentation skills.
Cons: Excessive work hours (that were not justified based on how much audit work needed to be done).  Boredom and lack of work outside of the busy season time frame.  Hire and fire assembly line atmosphere.  Fake corporate environment.
