Pros

Great place to start and build a career. Started out as an associate worked my way up to sr. manager.

Cons

Very long hours during tax season(Jan thr April). Gets really tough if you have a family. The adviosry pratice(FRM) went thru a downsizing for the first time in my career. Not totally a shock but they let go some people I worked with for a number of years. They are making the partner track a little clearer in terms of understanding what one has to do. It used to be sort of a secret. Still is somewhat but they are getting better at communicating how to make it.

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.
