Pros

- Quite laid back atmosphere compared to some of its competitors. You're there to get the job done, less artificiality in the corporate culture. - Rapid career progression, I had the opportunity to move from senior associate to manager within a year. - Opportunities for paid further education.

Cons

- Hours can get a bit much. - On the other hand there were significant periods of downtime when there was little happening on the client front. - Lateral movement can be difficult, so if you get stuck with a Partner whose personality you clash with, watch out!

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.
