Pros

I've heard that the career opportunities at KPMG are great, I've only been there for a few months so I do not have the expirence to confirm this. Everyone that I've met so far is very nice and trys their best to be helpfull. I personally enjoy the movement from client to client, switching teams and having the opportunity to interact and meet different people. Compensation is comparable to other big four, they offered the highest first year salary out of all of them but only by a few thousand.

Cons

Some incompetent staff slip through the cracks to become senior associates luckily they're routed out before making it to management.

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.
