Pros

Great training if you want to be an accountant or tax advisor. Potential for international assignments.

Cons

You have to fight for all the training you need if you are not a wannabe accountant or tax advisor. If you work in technology, forget asking for a BA course, PRINCE2 or further software engineering training, the partners have no clue what you are talking about. You work stupidly crazy long hours and do not get any overtime paid back to you in the UK even though your counterparts in other locations get TOIL or paid overtime. You have to fight for an international secondment or any secondment and one person's decision could ruin all your efforts.

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.
