Horrible.  Interviewing for other positions.
Pros: -Good name on my resume
-They pay for your meals as you work at the client 16 hours per day
Cons: -Pay is horrible compared to both hours work and industry.
-Everyone keeps finding a new job leaving jobs further understaffed
-Most small firms have technology lightyears ahead of KPMG
-Ethics of Partner's and Sr. Managers are questionable at best.
-Work Life balance doesn't exist.  We would understand if you actually paid us decent money, but during bust season I make $12 an hour for someone with a masters and 3 years experiance.
-Chicago office makes worst of the Big4 reputation true.
-The smartest leave as seniors, leaving the least compentent to manage the firm.
-Seniors make little more than associates, but basically run the whole audit.
-Client locations are often an hour commute, maing 16 work days even longer.
