KPMG has earned a few nickname acronyms because of this in Germany: "Keiner Prüft Mehr Genau" or "Kinder Prüfen Meine Gesellschaft" ("no one audits carefully anymore" and "children audit my company" respectively).

We have a few former KPMG employees. They have many stories to tell, about everything from glass ceilings to harassment.

I don't do business in Germany, but I'm curious; which firms would you say are most-respected there?

All in all, KPMG is still well respected (so is E&Y and smaller firms).

We regularly receive government grants, and the best audit experiences I've had was with the small, EU-funded auditors. They have a high level of integrity and technical/financial knowledge. But that is a very specific niche.
