Pros

Great people to work with, above average pay and a continuous drive in every one around you to improve both personally and professionally

Cons

high-pressure, demanding lengthy time commitments and the ability to manage multiple projects at once can sometimes take a toll on your personal life - but KPMG manages the nature of this work far better than other firms

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.
