KPMG is a great place to launch and build your career
Pros: 1) Pace of learning.  
2) Clear career path and growth.  "Up or out" may soudn like a bad thing until you work somehwere where that is not the case.  At KPMG you get a little faith and benefit of the doubt when promotion time comes.  Some places you have to be doing 100% of the job above yours before they even consider the promotion without the opportunity to learn to do it either.  
3) Work schedule flexibility outside of busy season.  Take advantage of the vacation days and sabatical
Cons: 1) Long hours, especially during busy season
2) This is a client service industry position so it is very deadline driven and you are often the last piece of the puzzle and therefore left getting your work done with much less time available to do it than is ideal.
3) Horrible 401K match and retirement benefits for non partners
