Pros

Flexible working hours. Getting the work done takes priority rather than "face-time" If you handle your work efficiently, there is no need to work till very late. Lots of social department events. Can learn alot about your industry

Cons

Pay is relatively low compared to working hours overall. Can get busy during year-end audits. May be deemed as "less glamorous" compared to other financial services roles.

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.
