Pros

Good company benefit, unit trip, peak treats

Cons

All cons depends on which manager you under, some manager especially senior manager, they don’t give guidance and supervision, when you ask also not bother to reply or never give you a firm answer. Always last minute only ask you to do something, and want it immediately + the thing originally needed or due soon. Can tell you in the midnight or early morning 6am to meet at office 9am which last night you OT late hope to get more sleep or reach office later. When you ask never provide you guidance or answer but after you do wrongly the drama start. I wonder why only manager can comments on staff, but staff can never give comments on manager. Being not reasonable, or too demanding. Ridiculous plotting time. Never respect to lower level of staff.

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.
