Pros

Excellent gain of experience and learning at first years; Very nice co-workers;

Cons

too much arrogance among managerial stuff, excluding partners; there is a good performance valuation system, but it doesn't work effectively, as many things are discussed 'behind the curtains' , many thing are influenced by personal preferences rather then professional competencies; relatively low remunerations

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.
