Comments on KPMG
Pros: The people: the work environment is competitive; there is a great sense of teamwork, solidarity and professional respect among levels and across functions.

The clients: you have a chance to work on large and high profile engagements which provide an excellent opportunity to, for example, 1) meet and work with senior management, 2) learn how these businesses are managed and 3) be challenged with the variety and complexity of accounting topics.
Cons: The hours: although there is flexibility (and time off is pretty good), there are times when a work/life balance is more of a challenge to overcome the imbalance than a balanced choice.
