Pros

Workload not as bad as other Big 4 bc overall has smaller clients

Cons

Compensation is a joke. Impossible to receive bonus due to high utilization requirement. Management seems to have way too much time in their hands bc they love to play mind games with 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.
