Pros

Diversity, emphasis on work/life balance, open and honest communication at all times and most importantly - THE AWESOME PEOPLE! There is also a great emphasis on work hard and play harder. There is an emphasis on the career development of women. The firm provides excellent training, inside and outside. Whatever you choose to do, it is a great place to start your career at and then maybe go into the industry, gains ome experience of a different sort and then come back here and keep rising upwards. They will take you back with open arms because they encourage diversity of thought and experience as well.

Cons

It is afterall an industry that requires long hours and sometimes during busy season you do put in 60 hour weeks regularly. However, this is not restricted to KPMG alone. It is something seen all Big 4 firms. In all Big 4 firms, such as this one, there are times of the year when companies are filing their financial statements and things tend to get really hectic and exhausting. However, a firm like KPMG also gives you 25 paid days off! They encourage you to take all your time off as and when needed. So while there is a downside, the salary, bonus, and other benefits compensate for it.

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.
