Pros

Depending on manager or project, but generally, the firm treats their employees well and puts in honest effort to help balance work and life.

Cons

Depending on manager or engagement ... deadlines usually border on being unreasonable for the work expected to be produced. During busy season (generally 3-5 months), do not expect work life balance. Work exists, but life does not.

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.
