Pros

Very nice environment to lear, dynamic with different project in the Consulting area. Great client-facing experiences, and competent managers to coach you.

Cons

Internal employees receive way less than external hires, they should have a policy to promote internals rather than hiring from outside. Moving to a different area or career path is not easy as well.

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.
