Pros

It's definitely a great place to start your career. You will learn a lot of accounting and get to see a lot of management style.

Cons

They see you as a tool. They don't care if you burnout or get sick. No recognition by the management after completing a task or engagement. Unfair layoffs. I was laid off even though I was getting great reviews from senior associates. It's matter of being an ass kisser to stay on the safe side.

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.
