Pros

Great learning experience for your first job out of college Good variety of projects Good training programs Overall the people are very smart and talented and you will learn a lot in a short period of time.

Cons

It can be a very large, impersonal organization Busy season is rough in the audit practice Promotions, salaries, and bonuses are pretty much the same for everyone at lower levels, so there is not a lot of incentive to exceed expecations early in your career

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.
