Pros

The learning opportunities and colleagues are awesome. Furthermore I got a good overview in different fields (restructuring, due dilligence, valuation, corporate finance and management consulting)

Cons

The perks and the salary are clearly a downside, which makes many people leaving at least after 3, 4 years. The demanding work, working hours and the required expertise are by no means in relation to the salary offered.

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.
