Good job if you're looking at it short term, but not sure if this is a great place for a long term career. - Advisory Manager KPMG Employee Review

Pros

You learn a lot about a variety of different industries. Your co-workers are very sharp for the most part. They are also very generous with vacation days (5 weeks!). If you request time off far enough in advance you are actually able to take those days unlike some other places.

Cons

If you are not an accountant, the brand doesn't do much for you. There is also the bureaucracy and politics that you get from any large company. As you move up the career ladder at KPMG, politics becomes more and more important as there is a lot of jockeying going on behind the scenes as to who gets credit for a client win, etc. Although I imagine that this is probably no different from any of the other large consulting firms.

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.
