Pros

Very good culture. No gossip, no isolating people. Super respectful and inclusive environment. Very uncommon in Italy. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Some managers think they are CEOs and make you work crazy hours, but that's very variable depending on the manager / partner. Some are completely nuts. Salaries in the Italian firm are ridiculously low. You basically work there for charity.... You won't be able to sustain yourself for the first 6 years until you get to manager, and even then you will struggle if you live in Milan.

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.
