      Pros

      Interesting, challenging work Latest technology Firm attempts to give you training, although gives you too much irrelevant information some times

      Cons

      Atrocious work/life balance - many employees are miserable Some departments don't interact much socially (not talking about outside work, but the employees don't talk or interact at all within some departments) At the intern level, I was already starting to specialize in a particular industry and business organization - I wanted a more broad experience (I think audit gets more broad experiences, though)

      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.
