Great training ground for Fresh graduates
Pros: KPMG is a great training ground for fresh graduates who either want to build a career in the field of accounting or has not determined what to do as a career.  One will gain a lot of work experiences with different industries, companies, clients, and people.  KPMG also offer good internal training programs.  

Also, KPMG managment is good in recognising and rewarding good work.
Cons: Probably similar to other Big 4 firms, working at KPMG means long working hours and lots of travelng (especially in the advisory practice).  During busy times, one needs to work 12-15 hours a day (not including the time spent in training, administration, and traveling).  Therefore, there isn't much personal time.  However, when the economy is down, one may stay in the office whole day doing nothing.
