KPMG Risk Consulting vs small firm?

Hi everyone!

I'm an Accounting and CIS student with a good GPA at a large western school that big 4 heavily recruits from. I currently have an offer with KPMG Risk Consulting and have a few questions.

I know IT Audits and controls aren't the most exciting thing, but what are some of the exit ops for this field? I'd like to get an MBA down the line and wanted to see my options, in Management/Tech Consulting, industry, etc.

Also, what are the general thoughts on KPMG Risk compared to the other big 4? I hear they are great for Risk Management, but cannot find way too much about this sister line in advisory.

I generally really liked them and am thinking of accepting this offer. My other option is Protiviti but figured that the name brand of KPMG would be better on my resume, plus if I didn't like IT Audit, I could rely on my background and more easily merge into another role such as Audit. Thoughts?
