Pros

People are just the best you can find in the industry. Extremely talented, clever and genuinely helpful, it's a shame the company does not value them enough. However, I've learnt a lot from my colleagues.

Cons

It's tough to stay motivated when we're getting nothing back. Three years in a row with no pay raise, and a pitiful 3% bonus, while the firm flaunts record-breaking profits and partners are making the news with highest salaries ever. It's clear they don't value us, their most important asset. You work 40-50 hours a week on the edge of burnout with zero rewards or recognition, and there is so much pressure to stay on the go non-stop. There is no downtime between engagements, no time to train, and promotions have been on ice for years. Honestly, it's just a shame.

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.
