Pros

Good place to start a career. Firm has excellent benefits. Most of senior management are easily accessible and act promptly on individual concerns.

Cons

Long hours will be required on regular basis which tends to affect work/life balance. There is a heavy management oversight if employees do not charge 50 hours per week of billable time. There were recent lay-offs which were not formally communicated which tends to create a lot of speculation among the employees. All work papers are still in hard copy format, however, the firm is slowly moving towards electronic format. This transition will be completed next year.

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.
