Pros

KPMG offers strong career growth potential, especially if looking to move into another industry. This is definitely a great place to build your resume, since the job offers such a high learning curve and requires that you don't stop learning.

Cons

Public Accountants work a ton of HOURS and do not get paid OVERTIME. This is often times depressing considering the amount of work on hand. Additionally, KPMG has yet to transition to a 100% electronic audit. This is at times inconvenient and causes the company to use a lot of unncessary paper.

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.
