Pros

Nothing much really. It is good to get a big brand name on your CV. Study leave is reasonable. The wages were okay.

Cons

Lots of bullying goes on, very little is done about it. Partners and Directors are cut-throat and ruthless, they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. I couldn't stand this image Marketing and HR protrayed that we were all one big happy family.

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.
