Former Manager
Pros: The best reason to work for KPMG is the name you get to put on your resume. You also get exposure to all aspects of accounting and you really learn alot about how companies work and financial reporting. You get tremendous exposure to upper management at the clients.  They give five weeks vacation and are flexible with the work arrangements outside of busy season.
Cons: The firm really enjoys having face time. You live at the clients during the year end audit, no matter what. It kills your morale and makes you question what you are doing with your life. Its the primary reason people quit.
