Pros

The compensation is good but not worth the nonsense you have to deal with..

Cons

Daily seat hoteling, yes you heard me correctly you have to book and reserve your work station daily. This is one of the biggest annoyance especially when it’s an open floor plan layout. Many distractions from some folks that don’t know the meaning of their “inside voice “. The office politics and water cooler jibber jabber makes for a toxic rumor mill full environment. They only hire contractors within so if you see a job posting on the job boards don’t waste your time because they are only posting to be compliant with the law. Backstabbing is in every corporate environment but commonplace here and be mindful of coworkers having daily meetings with your management without you. This day in age most companies recognize the advantages of working remote. Good luck doing that here due to old non relevant ways of thinking and extreme micro management.....

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.
