Pros

Quite simply....the people ! The entire company seems to be staffed with very bright, enthusiastic people who all (well...most) have very high degrees of emotional intelligence. It's a challenging an rewarding place to work. The wide ranging disciplines can be really useful as well for those wishing to gain experience of multiple industry sectors. For some there is also an opportunity to travel - although this isn't all good news - it can mean long days travelling but you do get to see some interesing places, meet some fascinating people and experience new cultures and ways of working

Cons

The hours can be long...and you can be away from home for long periods of time. If you like your 9-5 job - then this isn't the company for you.

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.
