Pros

Structured job ladder. Lots of free booze. Peers are often your around your age. Trainings are fantastic. Good breadth of experience. Good opportunities to network, in and out of the firm.

Cons

Hard work doesn't always pay off. Lots of politics. Getting to know the partners is more than important than it should be. Pushes work life balance but doesn't always allow for it. Some projects are better than others, and staff have limited say in which projects they get. Too many administrative responsibilities on top of projects.

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.
