Good introduction to big four but not a place to make a career. - Senior Associate, IT Advisory KPMG Employee Review

future job moves internal promotions client trust

Busy season intensity Deadline-driven stress cycles “Always on” expectations during peaks

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.

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.
