Pros

The managment team is very competent and willing to spend time with associates/senior associates in order to promote their professional development. The employees are very down-to-earth and have a lot of personality, which is important when the work can be less than exciting.

Cons

The hours and client locations can sometimes be long/far and unpredictable. Also, sometimes the client work is not very exciting. At times it can be hard to bond with your audit team, as you are so busy working there is not much time left for socializing during the day.

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.
