Pros

Great platform career advancement once you qualify. Good social scene within the company and a great way to progress from being a college graduate into a full time working professional.

Cons

Never valued as an employee, underpaid, overworked. I think that the big 4 have devised a very clever business model of getting the best and brightest college graduates, working them to the bone for 4 years and then they all run for the hills leaving them to keep only the ones who were complete slaves to the job and have no imagination or courage to change their circumstances.

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.
