Pros

Decent pay if you come in at the right time; hours are long some days and short others; several firm sponsored trainings and events

Cons

It is not uncommon during certain times of year to get an assignment at 6pm and you are expected to at least get it started that evening; you are not compensated extra for getting additional education; my group over-hired and had to lay off 1/4th of the staff

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.
