Pros

work with many smart people (co-workers and clients) great training great name recognition on resume clearly defined career path opportunities for advancement Frequent flier points! Hotel rewards!

Cons

long hours little recourse if you are dissatisfied with your client difficulty getting on clients you want initially at first, you are completely at the mercy of the whims of the staffing managers. You must be in touch with the right person to get the assignments you want.

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.
