Pros

Interesting client work at top listed clients Really good, friendly, helpful colleagues Reimbursements for expenses Car wash service (minimal cost, twice a week) Good brand / reputation in the market

Cons

Directors are so risk adverse, it can result in "analysis paralysis" at times! The performance appraisal process is somewhat flawed - who you're "aligned" to in your BU makes a difference. Be sure you 'get in' with the right people, otherwise you're doomed come review time!

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.
