Pros

Great for career growth and building your career when you are a young professional. You work in a young environment with smart senior management. Your peer group will become friends for life. Their training programs are excellent and senior management really cares about your career growth.

Cons

Long hours and travel to clients. Local travel can be up to 90 minutes each way. Some members of management prefer to work long hours and enforce this behavior on the project team.

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.
