Standard Big 4
Pros: Worked at KPMG in both audit and advisory for three years:

-Big 4 name on the resume and great place to launch your career right out of college
-Partners generally accessible, good open-door policy, lots of people willing to give insight into their career
-Base salary increases are alright (increased 35% in three years)
Cons: -Rating and compensation system is a joke, cloudy and generic criteria at best and no one (literally no one, HR or the department) can really explain why your salary increased the way it did
-Tendency for placing individuals coming in from other companies way above, or below, their skill sets, which skews management directives and frustrates teams
-Varies by department, but can be long (70+) hour work weeks, potential to burn out quickly if placed in bad project, team, etc.
