Pros

1. The brand name of KPMG is very attractive to other companies. 2. Exposure to target and client management can be substantial 3. Great networking opportunities with others

Cons

1. Work/life balance can be a b**** some time 2. Personal time is often sacrificed 3. You have to force yourself to build "relationship" with managers, directors and partners so you could get onto projects 4. Transparency could be improved 5. It takes two or more to communicate messages - whether we have layoffs or not, let us know...

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.
