Pros

Looks great on a resume. Good way to start out your career since KPMG has training programs set up each year for the first few years you are with the firm.

Cons

Long hours are not negotiable. Plus once you are in a group it is very difficult to learn new things about the area you are in. Cross functional assignment are generally looked down upon unless there is a direct benefit to the firm.

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.
