Pros

- KPMG has a solid presence in today's business world - High quality work - Professional methods - Like-minded people - Over-time is paid

Cons

- High fluctuation rate - Feels like many managers and higher ups are only profit driven and don't care about there team members - "Alright base pay" is much less than in other similar firms - Like in every big corporate firm the culture is a joke - Work/Life balance depends on kind of project you are staffed at (can be great, but can suck 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.
