Pros

Compensation and Big 4 name

Cons

Lots of hours, a bit of travel. The possibility of getting a 'bad' client is always there. It is somewhat the luck of the draw. You can draw a great client with a huge budget and enjoy your lunches on them as well as fewer hours spent at the job comparatively. OR, you can get a bad client with a small budget. The people can treat you poorly, you can put in lots of hours, and possibly have bad seniors on the job. KPMG does allow movement within the company if you get bored though. Overall a very great place to work

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.
