Learned a TON, but no Life
Pros: Plethora of intelligent resources at your fingertips.  Very smart people work for KPMG, and if you get a mentor who really cares, they will help you out at any time, ensuring your success there.

To someone fresh out of school with no nearby family and a significant other in law school, this is the place for you!
Cons: 100+ hours a week, being there at 2:00am during tax season, and not remembering what sunlight is in the winter time.  You're at work really early and you leave late...well, actually you leave really early (midnight to 2am).

Also, it's shark territory.  If you don't bite back or watch your back, someone will throw you under the bus to get ahead. Every year more than half of the staff jump ship (to another accounting firm).
