Pros

It's a big brand that people know about.

Cons

I am compelled to share distressing observations and personal experiences regarding the conduct of our company's senior management, involving multiple partners. A concerning pattern of inappropriate physical interactions has emerged, where senior leadership engages in unsolicited massaging, waist touching, and invasive hand touching while female colleagues use computer mice. These incidents occur publicly within the open office space, suggesting a normalisation of such unacceptable behaviours. Moreover, there is a blatant disregard for professional boundaries, exemplified by senior management referring to overseas KPMG colleagues with demeaning terms. This language not only disrespects but also diminishes the professional contributions of our colleagues, it was borderline racism. The situation is further exacerbated by a noticeable bias towards quite a few senior employees who are seemingly immune from performing meaningful work, creating a culture marred by inefficiency and a lack of accountability. These issues collectively signal a profound lapse in the company's ethical standards and professional conduct, requiring urgent and comprehensive intervention to restore integrity and respect within the workplace.

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.
