Great place to begin a career
Pros: I worked in the Advisory group at KPMG. The firm provides a lot of exposure to clients and project types. The best contacts of my career are from my time there. I look back fondly at my experience overall. In spite of the con I list below, I was very pleased with KPMG and would easily recommend it as a first job out of college.
Cons: You already know the deal when joining a Big Four firm, but the travel and hours can be difficult. In particular, time traveling is not chargeable and does not count toward utilization, so it is possible to log many more hours than colleagues due to travel and to feel no more recognized than your colleagues on local projects.
