Pros

Good work environment Good work life balance Decent pay Nice people

Cons

Too many compliance restrictions Less focus on client delivery and wins Very small projects which will limit your technology exposure. Very poor IT infrastructure Once you fall on the wrong side of compliance, you do not have any tools to challenge the claim of non- compliance. Ex: timesheet miss is a non- compliance, but you do not get an email once you submit timesheet, so you will not be able to prove with an email timestamp. Same case with trainings, you do not get any confirmation emails once you complete a training, once they flag you for late completion of training, there are no tools available to challenge company’s claim at your disposal. There are heavy fines for non compliance like delayed completion of trainings. It is also a common practise to cancel the hike and bonus along with fines. Please do not join if you take your trainings and other internal KPIs lightly and focus on client deliverables more

Pros

You get to work with an awesome, highly resilient group of local peers in the advisory practice. The KPMG brand still holds value, but the internal team dynamics have become incredibly fractured.

Cons

We have outsourced 80%+ of our Risk Advisory work, leaving onshore seniors with massive gaps in their experience. As a manager, I am stuck doing senior-level work because I typically have only one or zero local seniors or associates on my teams. The best leaders have already resigned because this model prevents actual management and mentoring. Also, it might take you 30+ years to become partner in Risk Advisory, if at all.
