Work a lot, learn a lot...
Pros: -Exposure to various industries, clients, businesses, etc. right from the start
-You'll learn a ton about general business processes
-You will have access to a lot of great training programs
-The senior management/partners in the Seattle office are VERY intelligent, and for the most part, extremely friendly and fun to be around
-The name alone (KPMG) will get you many interviews if you choose to leave the firm
Cons: -Needless to say (for public accounting) you'll work a ton of hours
-Their processes are extremely standardized, so you might often find yourself feeling like you're just checking boxes
-You have basically no say in what clients/teams you will be on
-The review process feels cold and feedback from managers after the fact doesn't seem very helpful
