Pros

I enjoy the people in my office. From the partners down to my peers everyone is helpful, and they really care about making sure you feel comfortable in what you are doing. I work in the tax group, and my seniors explain what they want before they hand me a job.

Cons

The hours are hard during busy season(s) if you are in tax. The office is so large that getting to know people is sometimes difficult. Also, I am not a huge fan of promoting a whole "starting class". Sometimes it is hard to know exactly who your boss is. One day you are working for one senior the next another.

Pros

Great for your resume and you have training in great vacation spots. Also, they give a lot of time leave as long as you work the busy seasons.

Cons

Very time consuming and there is not much interaction with the partners. Not an open door policy.

Pros

Great people. Coworkers are (almost) always smart, interesting, fun and your (large) peer group is composed of people your age (with whom you likely share some common interests). Sexes up your resume. If you want a career in finance/accounting this is the place to start. A breeding ground for controllers. The partner/manager group is composed of good (actually pretty great) people who take time to know each member of their teams individually. Best Big 4 firm in Seattle.

Cons

The pay structure could be improved (pay relative to cost of living not 'market'). All your hard work gets the partners (not necessarily you) paid. While top talent is identified though a fair ratings process, it is subsequently exploited. In other words, if you get a high rating you will be subjected to a challenging, (i.e. crushing) workload because "you can handle it.' This is fine if you love auditing. However, if you don't take satisfaction from being treated like a cop by clients who don't respect you, then auditing may not be for you. Also, KPMG's technology lags behind the other Big 4 firms and, at times, is borderline mind-numbing.
