Great way to grow experience but expect long hours
Pros: As a big four firm, KPMG is very well known throughout the world as a place to grow accounting and finance talent.  Employees usually get to see many aspects of business very quickly and hone technical skills needed for success in accounting.  Paid time off is at the high end, especially for new college graduates
Cons: While paid time off is at the high end, it is often very difficult to use it all without seeing effects on your performance and projects.  Long hours are the norm and burn-out is high.  Employees are expected to spend a few years at the firm, burn out and move on to other opportunities.
