Pros

Visibility into different industries, clients and ways of doing business, exposure to finance and accounting principles as well as brand recognition

Cons

Risk management process is ridiculous, work papers, inablity to sell many services, poor management at senior partner levels, still a good ol' boy network, poor performing partners are rarely removed, partners are out for themselves only and not the best for thier clients or the company as a whole

Pros

Employ smart people Good opportunities to travel Work Life Balance was actually pretty good Was able to work on some interesting projects

Cons

National leadership doesn't seem to know where they are going Promotion criteria differs widely between offices Ridiculous amount of administrative time spent filling out spreadsheets, forecasting time and sitting on calls that go nowhere. Managers and Partners are terrible at working across service lines and guard their list of contacts in the industry to the detriment of the company KPMG was very reactive to the economic downturn rather than proactive Seattle office has lost over half of the Advisory staff in the last 15 months
